Description The true sense of the term "session" includes all browsing data that is related to the browsing session. If I restart the browser, Firefox is capable of restoring my previous browsing session properly. Even if it crashed, Firefox suggests to restore the browsing session and it works in the right way. Doing so, Firefox demonstrate what "browsing session" really means: My old tabs are still there. If I looked up a specific topic in one tab, I can continue browsing were I left. Also, I can press back and check the other websites that I have visited to gather information in the same tab. Without that tab history, the user experience just massively lags behind.
User benefit Tab-Session-Manager is an aditional bookmark manager. It's well organized and looks good. But at the moment it doesn't really add any new functionality. It takes less than 5 seconds to save all tabs at once to a folder named "Window 1", "Session 1" or "Session 05/06/20" and press the red X. When I restart Firefox, it needs one click at that folder, another click at "Open all tabs" and that's it. I don't need a session manager for that purpose. In my opinion, a session manager would be a great tool if it could really restore sessions, not just bookmarks.
