Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13506562, 7 years agoi really wish that i could give this addon a better rating because i think it has potential. it is obvious a lot of work has already gone into it so thanks for your efforts sop far.
I think a lot of people are searching for an effective tab manager to replace the panorama based grouped tab addons that have previously been available..
this addon has the potential to do this. whilst i am not familiar with the technical problems of doing this with the new firefox code, i am aware that there are limitations which are not easy to get around.
the things that i am looking for are
- holding the pinned tabs in each and every session session
- when selecting and naming a session, that switching to another session closes the open session (but retains it) and retains all the tabs in that session
- adding tabs to a currently opened session automatically adds those tabs to the saved session
- when the session is reopened, it does not attempt to automatically reload every tab in the session (perhaps unless you want it to). trying to open maybe 50 or more tabs simultaneously can slow things up quite a bit
- being able to place each of the tabs aside directories in the bookmarks toolbar (or having its own toolbar) which would mean that you would only have to select a bookmark directory (with a click) and it would open as it was left and the previously selected directory would resave and close.
i am not sure if i have missed anything and some of these things are already available and whether or not these things are even possible, bit i will check it out again in the future.
i really hope that this can be done.

posted 7 years agov1.16 now supports root folder selection also there is an option for pinned tabs.
Also you can add single tabs to existing session via the tab context menu.
I know that is not exactly what you asked for but it is getting closer :D
There is a way to load tabs only when they are selected (like the LoadTabOnSelect extension).
I plan to include this in v1.17 or 1.18.
