Session on Startup about tab-session-manager HOT 15 CLOSED

I will add that option in the future.

from tab-session-manager.

Awesome. Thanks for adding that. Would it be possible to add the ability to restore a specific session on startup? I have a session labeled "Startup" that I would like to have loaded when I startup.

from tab-session-manager.

I needed same thing. I followed this steps:

1.- Get code:

$ git clone https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager.git

2 .- Search and edit the algorithm in this point.

File: Tab-Session-Manager/background.js
Line: 189
Change to: return (element.name == "default");

3 .- Create un zip file of directory Tab-Session-Manager/. The file manifest.json must be in root of file zip.

4- In firefox Developer Edition or Nightly make sure that option xpinstall.signatures.required is false in about:config. IMPORTANT: This is easy in firefox version Developer Edition or Nightly. If you want use Standar version of firefox you must signed the addon.

5 .- Drag and drop the file in addons tab of firefox for install modified addon.

6 .- Save one session and use the name default. Active the option Restore previous session at startup of installed complement.

Now firefox will load default session in each start .

Carefull, this modify one original feature. You need revise this repository for new updates. Also firefox will be less fortified.

I hope this help you.

Every Update I look for that feature ... but it is not implemented so far, unfortunately. I also would appreciate this feature ... every time I start ff I have to open my startup session manually. :-(

Could an option like this be configurable (like in SessionManager) ? :-)

from tab-session-manager.

If Tab Session Manager was able to add a choice in "When Firefox starts" that might also have the side-effect of making the window-closing prompt from Firefox appear, as it seems disabled when "Show your windows and tabs from last time" is selected.

I need to exact same thing: opening pinned(!) tabs at startup, don't restore anything else

from tab-session-manager.

I need this too. I don't save my browsing history. Saving the tabs which are open when I close FF is NOT the same as saving my entire history. Firefox 57 broke this. Tab-Session-Manager has given me a work around because I can now click to restore the last autosaved session. It would be awesome if there was an option to make this happen automatically when FF starts.
Cheers :-)

I added the option restore previous session at startup in version 1.8.0.

Thanks for the attempt, but what Tchilderhose said was more what I was requesting. If I wanted a restore previous session on startup, I could have just used Firefox's "When Firefox Starts: "Show your windows and tabs from last time" option. I need it to be a specified session rather than the previous session at time of close.

from tab-session-manager.

@sienori I think "Restore previous session at startup" should be enabled by default because this is what most users want. I don't like to enable this option every time I install the add-on.

What do you think?

from tab-session-manager.

@davidhedlund
No, I think "Restore previous session at startup" is not an option necessary for everyone.
Changing the behavior at startup is confusing for many people.
Settings are inherited when updating. You only need to set once.

from tab-session-manager.

@sienori Ok fair. You can ask a Yes/No dialog popup to enable this setting directly when the add-on has been installed.

oh, great, a new version ... but, a pitty, without this feature ...
But thank you for your work! ;-)

from tab-session-manager.

Thank you for waiting so very very long time.
In version 5.2.0, I implemented the startup session! 5a1a604
