User reviews

Tab Session Manager is praised for its reliability and ease of use in saving and restoring browser sessions, with helpful manual and automatic saves plus backup options. However, users frequently report issues with inconsistent tab group restoration, duplicate autosaves cluttering session lists, and recent failures of automatic saving after Firefox updates. Additionally, session loss without default backups and limited author responsiveness have been concerns. Overall, it is a valuable tool but has notable problems affecting stability and session management for some users.

Pros

Works well for saving and restoring sessions
Reliable and simple to use
Supports manual and automatic session saves
Allows backup to cloud or local files
Has saved users from losing tabs multiple times

Cons

Does not save or restore tab groups consistently
Creates multiple duplicate autosave sessions, overwhelming manual saves
Automatic saving has failed recently after Firefox updates
Risk of losing all sessions with no built-in backup enabled by default
Lack of interaction or timely updates from the author after Firefox updates

The only problem that I have with TSM is that it does not play nicely with Simple Tab Groups at the moment. I use STG all the time, so unfortunately until this bug is sorted, TSM is a non-starter for me. Which is unfortunate because it is highly recommended and I would like to use it. (P.S.: I run a Mac using Monterey so quite old, nevertheless, this post is accurate as at 2025-05-08.)

Works really well. I would like functionality to name windows and have that title persisting after saving and restoring a window or session. I'm using extension Window Titler that prefixes the name of the window with [MyTitle], followed by the name of whatever tab is currently open (so window title changes dynamically). That functionality is perfect, but that title is obviously lost when window is saved.
