ContextSnap Firefox

ContextSnap

By: manavxa
Save and restore your entire browser state — tabs, scroll positions, form inputs, and text selections — in one click.

Features & Capabilities

Never lose your browser context again.

ContextSnap saves your entire browser state and restores it exactly where you left off.

Not just tabs — your scroll positions, filled-in forms, selected text, and even pinned tabs are all preserved.

What Gets Saved

  • All open tabs (URLs, titles, pinned state)
  • Scroll positions on every page
  • Form inputs — text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons
  • Text selections and highlighted text
  • Active tab state
What Makes It Different

Most session managers only save your tabs. ContextSnap goes further — it captures the full state of every page and restores it faithfully.

Progressive Scroll — Infinite-scroll pages like YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit don't load all their content at once. ContextSnap automatically scrolls down to trigger lazy loading before restoring your exact position.

Smart Form Restore — Works with modern web apps built with React, Vue, and Angular. Handles dynamic form IDs that change on every page load (common on job application platforms like Greenhouse, Ashby, and Lever).

Open in New Window — Restored tabs open in a fresh window by default, so your current tabs stay untouched.

Who It's For

  • Researchers — Save your research session with dozens of tabs, each scrolled to the relevant section, with key passages highlighted.
  • Job seekers — Halfway through a long application? Save your progress and come back later without re-filling every field.
  • Developers — Debugging across multiple docs, Stack Overflow pages, and GitHub PRs? Save the whole context and restore it when you switch tasks.
  • Students — Working on a paper with multiple sources open? Save your reading context with scroll positions and text selections intact.

  • Restore scroll position — on/off
  • Progressive scroll — on/off (auto-scroll on infinite-scroll pages)

Privacy First
  • All data stays on your device using local storage
  • No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking
  • No data ever leaves your browser
  • Password fields, hidden fields, and file uploads are never captured
Your browsing data is yours. Period.

Is ContextSnap Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ContextSnap requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ContextSnap is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.

Risk likelihood analysis details
