Reviews for Tab Session Manager
Tab Session Manager by sienori
Review by nzpete54
Rated 4 out of 5
by nzpete54, 9 years agoI had to find a replacement for the old Session Manager, which worked well until FF57, and then not at all.
I give kudos to the author of this add on for going to the trouble to provide an extension that substitutes for the legacy Session Manager in part. If it can duplicate more of the functionality of the older extension, it would rate FIVE stars for sure. But I thank the author and rate four stars at this time.
There are issues which I hope can be dealt with as this extension develops:
- I had a large 196 tab session saved, which Tab Session Manager shows OK, but when I try to open the session, only a portion of them do load. There seems to be a limit here. It would be nice if there was not.
- I note the latest version 1.5 has an option to Export the tabs (I presume as a list of links), but I haven't located this feature. This would enable me to sort through the 196 tabs mentioned in the previous point, so I hope I can find it - FOUND IT! Cool. Oh, but it only exports as a .json file which is not so useful. Update: but it is not to hard to manipulate the file with Notepad++ using "windowId": value to extract the tabs from a particular session.
- I echo the statement of "Anonymous user 8e0130" who asked "Is there anyway to have it not load non-active tabs?"

- Rated 4 out of 5by OMIDT, a month agoVery High CPU usage on many tabs.
Other wise is amazing tools i am using all the time. because of this issue i have to disable it and enable all the time to avoid my CPU fan go crazy. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17633691, a month agoGarbage extension. Can not find specific previous session. UI absolutely terrible. I can not emphasize how much I hate this PoS software. Uninstalling.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18514632, a month agoCloud sync is broken, infinite loading (Same thing like GitHub issue 1451). Suggested fix to delete all data does not work.
May work well for local-only use. But extension explicitly advertises cloud sync feature. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20033380, a month agoDo not use this on browsers with multiple workspaces like Floorp - it moves all the tabs to one workspace, rendering the extension worse than useless.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Altus, 2 months agoThe addon is not bad, at first glance. He copes with the assigned tasks, BUT very frequent begging for money (donations) is very annoying. I even started writing down the dates when the internal "thank the author" timer went off.

And I was just opening a window to clear saved sessions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20008329, 2 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by AlexOja, 2 months agoSoliciting money all the time. Clunky. Sync tends to clutter everything because default settings haven't been thought through well enough. Does work pretty well, but if you're going to bug me for donations all the time, I'll just uninstall.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Erick, 3 months agoCan you add local support for the addon to remember spit view tabs? thanks
- Rated 4 out of 5by Katherine Howell, 3 months agoOne of the best extensions I've installed. Simple, effective, and doesn't bloat the browser at all.

- Rated 3 out of 5by kone, 4 months agoBetter than Firefox's built-in backup, but unnecessarily complicated!
I don't see the point of many of the features. Unfortunately, there's no help section to clarify this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mimrix, 4 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14498287, 4 months agoFrom the volume of open issues and the lack of activity on Git, It looks like Sienori has either abandoned this extension or doesn't have the time to maintain it. April 26.
