Reviews for Session Sync
Session Sync by Gabriel Ivanica
Review by Beka
Rated 3 out of 5
by Beka, 5 years agoJudging from my first saved session I've been using this extension for a year, and I've had no issues until recently when I deleted a couple of saved sessions. I believe this was the first time I deleted any sessions so I'm not sure if it's a new issue or not -- no basis for comparison. I give 3 stars for the year of good use I got out of this extension -- I only wish I didn't decide to clean up the list of old sessions!
After deleting a couple sessions, I'm having the following 3 issues:
1. After I deleted a session, a blank space appeared in the session list in the area it was deleted from. I couldn't click on it, it was just empty space. Upon reloading the browser the list "reshuffled" and the blanks were gone.
2. All but 4 of previously saved sessions from the past year are now blank. They appear in the list and I can click on them, but there are no links listed. Only the 4 most recent saved sessions have any links. I'm not sure when exactly I deleted the old sessions or how that may relate to these 4 that still work -- they may correlate.
3. Of the 4 sessions that still have links listed, none of them will actually restore any of them, either in the same window or a new one. The toolbar shows the button labels when I hover my mouse, but otherwise does not respond at all.

posted 5 years agoHi. Thanks for review. I will assume that you are talking about manually saved session and not the one from the auto-save tab. The only reason any blank space might appear after you delete a session is if you ordered them by something else than position.
But then... you say that everything is blank ?! But that can't happen for manually saved session because the addon never ever touch that data automatically so deleting it is out of the question.
Please if you can contact me over email I might be able to fix a solution for the problem. First, if you are talking about saved session you have constant backup of them by Firefox and you can restore everything for a few days. Second, if any bookmark was really deleted trust me... the addon is not at fault. There's simply no way the addon will ever do that under any circumstances. There's nothing like that. You either delete it or it will be forever stored into Bookmark Menu -> Session Sync folder.
Everything you manually store is in Bookmark Menu -> Session Sync folder... so if data is there... the it should be displayed in the addon as well.
If you're talking about the auto-saved session... that I can't do to much about them. But if you talk about bookmarks session... even if there by any strange reason you have an error. Reinstalling the addon will make it work without any problem because the data is there in the bookmarks and it will never be deleted randomly. Why you can't access the links... I never encounter this error and I don't actually understand why it won't be fixed if you close the panel and open it again because each time the data is requested from the bookmarks and even if there's a small error it will be fixed right after opening it again.
Like I said, if you can, please contact me over email (press the feedback button from the addon menu and you will be redirected to send an email), because I belive that the issues should be fixable. Just giving it 3 starts after using it for an year will not help anyone, not me, not probably not other people because the issues seems quite strange and there are thousands of people that constantly delete session and there's no issue like that so I assume there's something very edge case here.
