Session Sync by Gabriel Ivanica

Review by Aaron Bohot

I really like this add-on... Like, a lot. I ran into a bit of a problem, though, where the history feature does not update. I have a session every day, but when I have to restore a lost session (having unrelated issues with Firefox over that), the last session I can restore through Session Sync is several months old. It used to update, like, hourly, which was really helpful.

I understand that you've addressed this in other reviews, though, so I know I'm not saying anything new. I was concerned about reinstalling since I thought I might lose the stuff I'd saved with Session Sync, but reading your other responses it seems like that's not an issue... Will reinstall and see if that solves the problem.

Other than that, though, a wonderful extension and quite helpful... I'm a bit of a tab hog, and the ability to store lots of tabs for a specific project easily under a label and access them only when I need them has really saved my computer a lot of stress.

Hi, and thanks a lot the review. Sadly, as in this case, it seems that there's a strange issue some user encounter once in a while which somehow makes History completely unusable, and even deletes the data. I know very well about it and I tried again and again to find a solution to it but I simply can't understand why it happens in the first place (without finding the actual solution it's really hard to fix it). I need to redesign the whole History saving feature and probably this issue will be solved as well. I'm really sorry that you also had this problem :( Hope that reinstalling it solved the problem in your case. Thanks for your support, even though you had problems with it. This kind of feedback gives me a lot of reasons to continue to improve the project further.
