Review summary

Users praise the add-on for saving/restoring very large tab sessions and preventing loss after crashes, plus good customization and a manual export option. However, reliability issues recur: sessions can be deleted by bugs, auto-save can fail, and backups may be outdated. It also fails to preserve tab groups/Tree Style Tab state and per-tab history. Open/restore can be flaky, and delete actions lack confirmation, sometimes causing duplicates and memory bloat. Overall, strong concept, with fragile execution.
Pros
  • Saves and restores large tab sessions and thousands of tabs after crashes or closures.
  • Keeps sessions across multiple windows and helps prevent lost work.
  • Highly customizable and flexible workflow.
  • Supports manual export of saved sessions.
  • Has saved users from major losses by restoring many tabs quickly.
Cons
  • Bugs can delete all sessions and auto-save can fail, leading to data loss or stale backups.
  • Does not preserve tab groups or Tree Style Tab state, nor per-tab browsing history on restore.
  • Open/restore actions can misfire (Open button may not work, startup window shifts) and can create duplicate windows, increasing memory usage.
  • Delete button is too close to Open and often lacks a confirmation, risking accidental deletions.
  • Behavior varies across Firefox updates and some users report memory bloat from duplicated tabs.
