why not the latest final which is newer than pre?
but SM is buggy.

...
Are you saying the version I have is not current? It sure looks old, but it hasn't asked for updates, and I'm pretty sure I went looking and found none. If you have some directions, that would be good. HOWEVER, it does seem to work for me at least somewhat. I try not to push it, as I sometimes keep a bunch of stuff open.

Session Manager 0.8.1.13pre20170130b and Session Manager 0.8.1.13 are the same versions.
Session Manager doesn't work anymore in latest Mozilla Firefox Nightly 57.0a1 (2017-08-14).

Tired of constant Firefox UI changes? XUL extensions are not working anymore? Try SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon.

If there is no "pre" available, how did I get that installed? I don't make up my own versions. I also asked how to get to the latest. I don't see it. There is no update to the version I listed. That is it. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, I know this. This is one of the reasons I'm not on 57 yet. I am hoping it gets fixed, and that will be indicated in 56, and then eventually work in 57.

currently the API is not ready, thats why TMP also fails. converting a similar WE from chrome to firefox showed me a lot of "api not ready". code for tabs is rare, i read a comment from the author who made "toolbar buttons" (webextensions are limited to only one button, thats why TB is dead)

The "Find a Replacement" link for legacy extensions now includes legacy extensions, but "legacy content will be removed from the Featured Extensions collection on 1 September".

THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING!

The version I listed is from January, and that is the latest available, as backed up by James and triple-confirmed by SLK350.

About Session Manager.

You can follow the progress of the Not compatible with 57+ bug, found by clicking the link to the Support site
here.

If a developer of a favorite extension doesn't have a support site or email, then I guess you wait until all the pieces of the puzzle are in place.

Makes it a bit hard to use Nightly for some right now, but I'm making do with what I got.
