Session Manager

Session Manager saves and restores the state of all windows.

Building upon SessionStore, this extension allows you to save the current state of Firefox (history, text data, cookies) and return to that state at any later moment. Besides the manually saved states, Session Manager automatically stores the current state in case of a crash.

All sessions are stored in the "sessions" folder inside your profile directory and can be moved around as any other file. To get to that folder, simply select "Open Session Folder" in Session Manager's menu (might not work on all OSes). Finally, Session Manager also allows to reopen the 10 last closed windows and tabs.

It is not recommended to use Session Manager at the same time as SessionSaver or Tab Mix Plus's Session Manager feature (*) (which provide similar functionality on their own). In comparison, Session Manager currently stores more session data than Tab Mix Plus while not getting as complex as SessionSaver.

(*) - Session Manager may be run with Tab Mix Plus, as long as Tab Mix Plus's built in Session Manager and Crash Recovery are not enabled. It is strongly suggested that when Tab Mix Plus prompts to enable built-in session restore and disable the TabMix Session Manager that you choose "Yes".

Veoh installs a plugin in Firefox that can cause tabs to get stuck in "Loading...". This is caused by a bug in the Veoh plugin. I have a fixed version of C:\Program Files\Veoh Networks\Veoh\Plugins\noreg\videofinder4\content\overlay.js located here. I've reported it in the past without it being fixed so if you see the following error message in the console, please contact Veoh and report the problem:

Error: url.indexOf is not a function
