(Update 2a) Mozilla Plans for API for SESSION MANAGEMENT: "More Extension APIs: Firefox extensions will become more capable with additional features for tab management and organization, including a full implementation of Tab Hiding (61) and User Scripts (61) APIs. Two other highly requested feature areas, Toolbars and Secure Overlays (Q4) will land an initial set of development APIs, while other feature areas such as Session Management, Bookmark Management (Q3) and Clipboard Interaction (Q2) will be rounded out with incremental APIs." (source: 2018 Firefox Roadmap [updated on 2018-04-12])

This is awesome. Thank you so much for doing all this. Sadly, I switched to Vivaldi since Quantum broke saving different sessions. It was a deal breaker for me because I liked maintaining the history of each tab for each session.

I really miss Firefox, just waiting for this to be implemented.

Voted for all bugs.
