Review summary

Users appreciate Tab Session Manager for its ability to save and restore browser tabs and sessions easily, with features like manual and automatic saving and cloud backups. However, a common issue is the lack of support for tab groups, causing loss of tab organization on restore. Multiple users report that automatic saving may stop unexpectedly, leading to session loss without backups. Some also experience duplicate tabs after restoration and compatibility problems with other tab group extensions. Nevertheless, many find it reliable and essential for session management over years.

Cons

  • Occasional bugs cause duplication of tabs and windows upon restoration.
  • Loss of all saved sessions without warning or recovery due to deletion or corruption.

2025-06-17 Fi***** Does not even appear on the toolbar or anywhere else - so no idea if it actually works or not. About to uninstall and find something else.

2025-06-16 Ur***** I had been using it for a long time without issues, it saved me 2-3 times; but yesterday my computer crashed. My waterfox session file must have been corrupted and it restored it from the recovery one (previous.json) that is somehow 2 months old (thank you mozilla for not updating it more frequently). I immediately went to tab session manager to restore; but surprise surprise, all the backups are gone. At some point it seems the automatic backup feature stopped working and somehow even the older sessions disappeared. Idk if it was a browser update, error or that they were older than X and automatically deleted. TLDR, even having this extension enabled to prevent the loss of my session, I still lost my session. I will either look for an alternative extension and/or start backuping the session file manually.

2025-06-10 ul***** all tabs re-opened, but tab groups are destroyed
2025-06-08 Ve***** Did not save my fucking tabs.
2025-06-07 Fi***** It does the job as it should! No complaint, till today that it double saves my open tabs. For example, if i have 2 windows and 50 tabs on each, it saves and opens 4x windows and 200 tabs. I use this extension for a long time now (years), without complaint. I don't know if it's firefox fault or the extension. Please take a look at this Sienori, thank you!
2025-06-04 Fr***** I tried Tab Manager Plus but found it USELESS. It doesnt save sessions like it says it does but this one I installed and BOOM, So easy to click on it and choose save session, thank you!
