Wow. What a shame. This was one of the best extensions ever. It was among the first 3 extensions I installed first. Now it just doesnt work like it used to. I click on the option to save this window/other windows/all tabs etc and normally i would see a list below the options showing what saved sessions are there. Now nothing happens when I try and save tabs or windows. No list is showing underneath. What trash. Shame
