User reviews

Users appreciate 'Save Working Session' for its simplicity and reliability in manually saving and restoring browser tabs, especially when Firefox's built-in session restore is disabled. However, common issues include the inability to save multiple sessions, absence of automatic saving which risks session loss on crashes, and excessive memory usage after restoring sessions. Some users note the extension requires broad data access and lacks extensive features or guidance compared to other tab managers.

Pros

Simple to use with a toggle for saving and restoring sessions.
Effectively restores all saved tabs after browser restart.
Useful alternative when Firefox's built-in session restore is disabled by company policy.
Does what it is supposed to do with minimal user interaction.
Provides a basic session management functionality not available in some Firefox configurations.

Cons

No option for automatic session saving leading to risk of lost sessions on sudden exit or reboot.
Cannot save multiple sessions separately; reusing the save function restores the previous session instead of saving a new one.
High memory usage after restoring sessions, causing significant RAM increase.
Lack of clear instructions or features compared to other tab managers.
Concerns over extension accessing data for all websites, possibly due to the way it stores URLs.

As far as i can tell, it provides a toggle to Save Session, Clear Saved Session, and if you toggled Save Session on before exiting, you can click it again after restarting to reload *the single(?) window of tabs it saved.* idk, it never says, and I wasn't gonna look further at an add-on that 6 other tab mgr's can do with more control, features and instruction.
