Notice: Doesn't save the state of the page

It's just like history, when the page is closed, anything you were doing with it is gone. I recommend the lazarus extension if this is a problem for you. If you re-open it, it will be a fresh page.

It does help me to manage my tabs but the biggest problem I have with it is that once a tab is suspended by Tab Sheperd then all the history for that tab is lost and you can only recover the last page you were on. I would give it 5 stars if I could recover the history for the tab as well.

Я так понял это расширенная версия TabWrangler. Вроде как все работает. Не хватает возможности перехода по вкладкам.
