Session Manager allows you to save and restore the state of all windows.

Session Manager saves and restores the state of all windows - either when you want it or automatically at startup and after crashes. Additionally it offers you to reopen (accidentally) closed windows and tabs. If you're afraid of losing data while browsing - this extension allows you to relax...

This extension replaces SessionSaver and Tab Mix Plus' session manager. It stores more data than both of them and should be more reliable in saving and restoring. Although it is not recommended to have more than one session related extension installed, Session Manager is compatible at least with Tab Mix Plus.

Requirements:

· Mozilla Firefox

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Added: Window Sessions -- create by saving a window and checking the auto-save checkbox
· Added: Ability to append the current session or window to an existing session when saving via the save window - see documentation.
· Added: Ability to delete specified tabs from an existing session - see documentation.
· Added: Ability to load session(s) by specifying the session file name(s) on command line or by "opening" .session files from explorer (or other O/S equivalent) as long as .session files are associated with the browser.
· Added: Option to save sessions in private browsing mode, only if encryption is enabled.
· Added "extensions.sessionmanager.backup_on_restart" hidden preference which if set to true, causes Session Manager to create a backup session on a browser restart.
· Added: Logging code to help with debugging.
· Added: Save screen width and height in session file and when a restore is done, adjust the window to the current screen size.
· Added: Right click menu item to abandon or close open auto and window sessions.
· Added: Add option as to where in titlebar (if anywhere) to display active session name.
· Fixed: Bug 21774 - Added tooltip for session and undo tabs and windows names.
· Fixed: Issue with session manager throwing exception when backing up sessions when Mr Tech Toolkit is installed and set to close all child windows when main window is closed.
· Fixed: Issues where Session Manager could overwrite existing tabs on startup if tab mix plus's single window mode was active.
· Fixed: Toolbar icons in SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey doesn't use the same size icons as Firefox.
· Fixed: If session file header was corrupt and session data was encrypted, the session might not decrypt correctly.
· Fixed: Error with converting old sessionmanager 0.4.2 format to new format (was leaving off {} around session data).
· Fixed: Issue when closing last window under OS X not saving session.
· Fixed: Don't display a "-" in the title bar when an auto-save session isn't loaded.
· Fixed: Works with latest trunk loads.
· Changed: The "Treat closing last open browser window as shutting down" option will now be set by default under OS X.
· Changed: Allow saving of a "window session" with only one window open, to allow creating a window session with only one window open.
· Changed: Optimized the displaying of the closed window and tab list and the shutdown processing.
· Changed: Don't display already loaded auto and window sessions in "Load" window.
· Changed: Always load in a new window if the "Load (Append to Current Session)" right click menu item is used.
· Changed: The Session Manager quit prompt now overrides the built in browser quit prompt. It also now contains a cancel button to cancel shut down. In Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 closing the last browser window puts up a "close tab" prompt which Session Manager does not override. In Firefox 3.6 and above, closing the last browser window will put up a quit prompt, which session manager will override.
· Changed: When reloading tabs, only reload web pages (http:// and https://). This prevents issues caused by reloading chrome pages.
· Changed: Move the rename, delete and group menu items to top of Session Manager menu and put a seperator between it and any auto-save or window menu items.
· Updated: Locales
