Personally, while I've been using Tab Session Manager for years, I've had lots of issues with it. There have been a few times where all my sessions would be completely wiped after restarting Firefox or having it crash, which is why I have the backup folder setting enabled. Very occasionally within the past few years, but much more often lately, when I'd try to restore sessions, all of which consist of 100s of tabs, I'd find a bunch of tabs missing, being replaced with blank new tab pages. Also note that this has happened across different computers and Firefox installations.
Looking at the changes / commits made to the extension since its last update made last September, the developer has only updated the readme page and a few other non-code related things. there are hundreds of unaddressed issues on the repo.
It seems like I should really move away from it, what are alternative extensions you would recommend?
That's a good explanation. I knew some of it, but I don't see why the tabs have to be blank. Even I have pages with deep links, I just want a session manager to save all the opened URLs and restore them without having any blank pages.
Yes, in fact I did say I doubt that's the problem. I suggest you try either Simple Tab Groups or Sidebery, I never had issues with those with hundreds of tabs (I may have a slight issue with tab management XD), but they probably don't cover all the features of this extension
