Either you want to overwrite, or you want to append - IMO there is no reasonable in between. Further on, appending to the current window is already possible: simply hold the [Ctrl] key down when loading a session.
I generally operate with just one window. Sometimes I'll have another one from a JavaScript popup, but not often and not for long then, rarely across restarts. I don't like a separate window being opened when I restore a session, but I don't want to lose whatever tabs I have in the window when I open the session. I'll remember the Ctrl key thing, though. It looks like exactly what I want, except I don't want to have to hit Ctrl.
Thanks. (Note that I don't have different sessions for different purposes, like one for school- and one for work- and one for gaming-related sites or whatever like some people do. I only use them so that I can close all my tabs except one when messing with extensions and restarting multiple times, so they all don't have to be loaded each time I restart until I actually want them all again.)

Well, that could also be solved by changing Firefox so the underlying menu is not closed, couldn't it? I think it looks better than having a more-cluttered main menu.

Ooh. I try to read threads completely before I post in them unless they're just really, really long, but I haven't managed to do it with this one. I'm still stuck on
page 4. I'll check the CSS hack out, thanks.

I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. Being able to customize every little thing is nice for the user so they get just what they want, but being able to customize very minor things that don't really matter makes the code more complex pretty much unnecessarily and can lead to teh extension being slower and buggier, which is bad for the user. So far, I think Tab Mix Plus is doing excellently, but it may reach the point of big and buggy and clunky Tabbrowser Extensions. I hope not, it's a really great extensions, except for the unreliable session-saving stuff.

It's quicker than having to open the Extension Manager and scroll down and find the proper extension. But, you're right. Once I get it set up how I want it (I have used Crash Recovery for some weeks, but not Session Manager), I won't be accessing the preferences much.
You know you do have those certain preferences listed at the bottom of the menu, though.
Edit: Hey, what's with sessionmanager.dat? What is it? It doesn't have all the nice blank lines that crashrecovery.dat and the *.session files do that make them easier to mentally parse. It hasn't been modified in an hour and 40 minutes, since just a few minutes after I installed Session Manager.
Edit: I have a silly question: Why do the four extensions I know of from you (Console², Crash Recovery, Fission, Session Manager) all have almost the same GUID, only the last two characters are different?
Edit: You know, the icon in the Session Manager toolbar button, when you're using small icons, is about two pixels higher than centered.
