Session Manager is a firefox add-ons that helps you to manage your opened websites in tabs. the older add-on was there called SessionSaver was doing the same thing. it will replace that add-on and also the Tab Mix Plus if you have installed already. and it is more reliable in compare to both of them. It stores more data than both of them.




the most usefull & needed duty of Session Manager is when you close the firefox window with closing all the tabs at the same time and leave for the day. and then the next day you will login in your terminal again, it will ask you to restore the previously closed all tabs or open a new window.

New fetures:

• Encryption of session data stored for advanced settings that require to handle the master password.
• The last saved session will be colored blue.
• Middle clicking the tab bar will reopen the last closed tab. This is disabled if Tab Mix Plus or Tab Clicking Options is installed since they allow middle click functionality to be customized.
