Hi All

FIX FOR LOSS OF SESSION MANAGER

After getting over my rage and frustration with Mozilla for wiping Session Manager I spent a while figuring out is there was any kind of work round. I found one – of sorts – I am working on a mac so I can't speak for Windows users.

First of all you need to load the add on Tab Session manager which does work with FF57. I have to warn you previous users of Session Manager this is a pale imitation of our favourite add on - not least becuase you can't over-write sessions, you have to create a new one and delete the old. I also recommend turning off just about all the preferences - especially auto save which just creates loads of useless sessions and clogs up the view window.

The next step is to find your .sessions files. They are here > library/application support/firefox/profiles/3nstdese.default-1475770629244/sessions. The library folder you need is the hidden one so to access it hold down ctrl+shift then Go menu in the finder.

Anyhow - once you've got it loaded go to the cog > preferences > sessions > import sessions. Beacuse the sessions are in the hidden library folder I copied them into a folder on my desktop and browsed to them from there. You can now import these (shift or cmd click to select multiple sessions) and at least you precious sessions will be back.

Please Michael Kraft – update Sesssion Manager – we all promise to domate!!
