Important

• [ ] Support Firefox containers
• [ ] Better support for multi-windows sessions
  • [ ] Option to merge windows when saving
  • [ ] Merge widows using drag-n-drop
  • [ ] Add tab context menu (close tab + other interaction options)
  • [x] Drag and drop to organize tabs (order, move to a new window)
• [ ] Improved configuration for auto-saving
  • [ ] Rolling buffer instead of overwriting the same session slot
  • [ ] Provide option to auto-save private-window sessions (disabled by default)
• [ ] Improved session management
  • [x] Add support for drag-n-drop save active tabs into other sessions
  • [ ] Full save support for pinned tabs
  • [ ] Support new tab hiding API
  • [ ] Support audio-tab information
  • [ ] Provide full UI support for tab related information (audio/container/pin status)
  • [ ] Automatically discard tabs after a certain time (should be configurable)
• [ ] General UI Improvements
  • [ ] Add hover context-icon to session/container entries
  • [ ] Add option to collapse toolbar buttons into a toolbar menu similar to the addon menu button

  • [ ] Add option to configure date format for when sessions are saved
  • [ ] Add option to open a session in a new private window
  • [ ] Add option to show the full scrollbar
• [x] Storage
  • [x] Create local storage favicon database for favicons (from tabs.faviconUrl)

• Listed items will definitely be implemented in future versions of the Add-on

Really nice to have

• [ ] Multi selection + context menu
• [ ] Dark theme
• [ ] Custom theme selection
  • [ ] Customize basic colors
  • [ ] Customize background

• Features intended to be implemented but not top-priority

In Review

• [x] Ability to export sessions
  • [ ] Export only one session
  • [ ] Export all session
  • [ ] Export format
    • [ ] Share a session with a friend (readable or as HTML snipped)
    • [x] Browser compatible format - used as a backup for restoring
• [x] Menu options to create new separators
• [x] When saving rename sessions using active tab title for each window
• [x] Change the default root folder
  • [x] Works if the folder is moved manually
  • [ ] Support full bookmark manager navigation
  • [ ] Multi-level folder manager
  • [ ] Requires substantial UX/UI changes
• [ ] Save tab scrolling position

• Listed items are under consideration for technical review and usefulness
• There is no guarantee that these features can or will be implemented
• Checked items should technically be possible (in theory)

I couldn't see how to save a session at first... The heart emoji is fine, but I'd recommend a large, idiot-proof button that says: "{heart-icon} Save Session"

Also, would be great if after installing the add-on, the tutorial and home page opened up in a new tab automatically. Found the Tutorial or Walkthrough by dumb luck - It's quite hidden in "About".

All button have tooltips on them and I kind of assumed that they are quite distinctive to make you inspect them to see what they do. But, like you said, I was thinking of maybe providing an options to hide the text and show it by default (after install)

Not really sure what went wrong but the Tutorial was suppose to open automatically once the addon is installed (first clean install, not after an update). I checked and the code clearly does that and everytime I tested and installed it myself it worked fine. Not sure if there can be any internal Firefox settings to stop that or other addons but I will check more to be sure.

Ah, likely a conflict with another Firefox addon - yes, you're correct. "New Tab Override" "Popup Blocker (Strict)"

Just guessing though.
