[kwlug-disc] Session Manager with Firefox Quantum

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The ESR version of Firefox has been updated to 60.2 (from 52.x).

The 60.2 is based on Firefox Quantum, which breaks a lot of extension.

One extension I have been using for years is Session Manager, and it does
not run on Quantum.

So, to save anyone else who uses that extension the trouble of wasting
several hours, here is what I did:

Find out the name of your profile directory. This should be in this file:
~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

Then go to your profile directory, and look into the sessions directory.

~/.mozilla/firefox/zzzz/sessions

There will be several files ending with .session. Backup this directory.

Install the Tab Session Manager extension.

Click on the icon from the browser's tool bar, and then click on the gear
icon.

Then select Sessions from the left menu, then Import session.

Browse the latest .session file, and import it.

That way, you have your windows and tab as before ...
