I've just recently performed a clean install from Windows 7 32bit 7600 and now using Windows 7 64bit 7600.

I backed up my appdata folder including tabmixplus sessionbackups folder within my firefox profile folder, and it's now in my new profile folder for the current install.

I installed tabmixplus again from the firefox extensions page and yet I'm unable to access my tabmix sessions, I've got 8 of them files located in the sessionbackups folder yet none of them are appearing within "Tools>Session Manager".

So, how can I access my previous sessions? I'm so desperately wanting them back cos I typically have 200 tabs over 4 windows open at once while using firefox and so it'd be a huge loss to productivity to not continue on from them.

Onemen, you may want to take a look at the preference window styling for OS X, it's been like this for a while:

It would be nice if it look like all other preference windows for OS X. Converting the preference window to a prefwindow & prefpane solution, you are currently using <dialog>.

Closed Tabs List Not Being Saved With Session Restore

I have the dev build 0.3.8.3pre.100305 and I had saved a few sessions that I needed later on in the day and I only leave 1 tab open when I save a session the others are always saved in the closed tabs list so that when restoring it doesn't take forever to load but when I went to restore the session it shoes the closed tab list as blacked out but I have learned to see the closed tab list you either need to close the tab you have open or open a blank tab then close it and the list will show. I did that numerous times and no closed tabs list would show so as of right now this is an issue I have to keep all tabs open to make sure that they are saved I am going to try & reinstall the dev build and also unclick the save closed tab list with session option and see if maybe somehow it was switched in the dev build so it might save without it clicked. I read a previous post with the same problem but nothing that was said helped me at all so maybe we can get this looked at. I appreciate all the hard work you do on this I love this add-on well hagd.

Mouse Wheel to switch tabs in List PopUp Menu

Currently, the List PopUp Menu is able to respond to mouse hovering. It would be great if able to repond to mouse wheel (while also being able to opt out mouse hovering).

If I havent make myself understood, you can refer to Notepad++ (5.3 at least).

If not planned to be a future feature.. is it possible that you post here the code that will enable such behavior??? Looks like it shouldn't be very difficult for you to implement But I dont know much of Javascript

Thanks

New tab showing url of previous tab after changing page

If a new tab is opened and the home button is clicked, the url has the address of the previous url. I assume this is because of the onblur that happens on newly opened tabs. Would it be possible to add the options on new tab opening to display the url and to select the address bar?

Thanks!!

I used to switch between Opera and Firefox until I started using Roboform. Then the decision was made for me. No Roboform toolbar for Opera. Firefox it is and has been for years. However, without TMP Firefox is unusable. TMP is the best! Since TMP is the best tab manager, I too voice my desire to have it available for Chrome. I only downloaded Chrome today because of problems viewing a site in both Opera and Firefox. The site works flawlessly in Chrome so I'll keep it as a backup, but please think about making a version of TMP for Chrome.

Warn when quitting Firefox doesn't work

I am currently battling a reinstalled Firefox 3.6 that is raw .. no addons or extensions or whatever you call them, except whatever comes with the installation.

The "warn when closing multiple tabs" just doesn't work, despite ticking the check boxes, adding "browser.warnOnQuit", "browser.tabs.warnOnQuit" etc etc that used to work for 3.5.

From what I have read (and believe me, it is not easy for someone who is not a techie), this is "working as intended".

At least, if Moz developers did not want this warning to pop up, they should have removed the check box that supposedly allows you to get the warning.

I dislike intensely, and I just might go back to using IE. It'll be a toss up on which one will be more frustrating.

Thanks.

if you set Firefox to restore your windows and tab on start-up then
There is no Warn when quitting Firefox

I don't have mac but you can start here - Read this sticky (and just top make it clear, you're talking about TMP session manager and not the Session Manager ext., right?)

No Multirow tab bar anymore. Tabs obscured

It works perfectly fine here. Things don't happen 'suddenly'. Try re-setting the option back and forth, try a new profile (Read this sticky).

From upcoming Firefox 3.7 you don't need to copy the url

select url right-click and use one of the Open Link in... options
