Personally, while I’ve been using Tab Session Manager for years, I’ve had lots of issues with it. There have been a few times where all my sessions would be completely wiped after restarting Firefox or having it crash, which is why I have the backup folder setting enabled. Very occasionally within the past few years, but much more often lately, when I’d try to restore sessions, all of which consist of 100s of tabs, I’d find a bunch of tabs missing, being replaced with blank new tab pages. Also note that this has happened across different computers and Firefox installations.
Looking at the changes / commits made to the extension since its last update made last September, the developer has only updated the readme page and a few other non-code related things. there are hundreds of unaddressed issues on the repo.
It seems like I should really move away from it, what are alternative extensions you would recommend?
I use it regularly and haven’t had any issues. It’s one of my favorite extensions. Granted, even at work, I don’t have hundreds of tabs open. It’s unfortunate, if development of this extension is dead - I’m interested in alternatives, as well
