Tabsuspender looses tabs #8

Closed a-pirard closed 7 years ago

a-pirard commented 7 years ago

Nice program! But... I was using Tabsuspender 1.5 with FF 51.0.1 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 12.4. I use many pages and tabs. I upgraded to 1.6. When I restarted FF, all focused tabs had disappeared. Fortunately, I found I could restore History>Recently Closed Tabs on each page.

When using 1.5, I found New Tabs that were empty and should not. One of them restored its contents when I created a tab to the left of it. Another one when I restarted Firefox. But other tab suspenders might have had the same problem. Sorry if this one is fuzzy and uncertain in my mind. But watch out.

In Firefox, you need to enable session restore from options page. By default it is disabled since Firefox's built-in session restore also restores 'chrome://' tabs.

I'm afraid that you are very unclear. Do you mean a preference in Edit>Preferences>General? General>When Firefox starts>Show my windows and tabs from last time maybe? I do have that option turned on. And it normally should not affect disabling Tab Suspender. You should close bugs only when they are solved.

I saw Tab Suspender closes all focused tabs when it gets disabled or when Firefox is restarted. They can be restored one by one with History>Recently Closed Tabs But when TS is disabled, tabs cannot be restored (because the required moz-extension is no longer available). That's sorry because it's a good program.

From version 0.1.8, there is no option for restoring tabs. The extension does restore all the suspended tabs with a few second delay. Please wait for 0.1.8 to get reviewed and reopen if you sill have this issue.
