Chaps,

Bit of a problem you might be able to help me with. Can't find the answer elsewhere.

Went and had a look at the Bugatti web t'other day drool
Don't look, or you'll be in the same fix as me!

It opened in a "no toolbars or menus or any bloomin thing but a title bar" "mode"
Trouble is, now session saver has saved this and so i have a blank window everytime i open mo' firefox

How can i reset session saver? I don't really want to recreate my profile or reinstall the browser unless i have to

ADVcheersANCE

Ahhh... sorted. In case anyone has the same trouble:

just opened an external to browser link and it put the bug page in a tab and sorted itself out... nice

Thanks for the extension... its great!

My apologies if this has been mentioned on any of the 27 previous pages, but I don't see any ways to delete saved sessions. Can this be done, or a feature added to do it?

workaround: go to your prefs.js while FF is closed and delete the offending session(s)

That helps, but are there any plans to have it added as a menu feature?

Any plans to be able to delete user made sessions?

The place to get rue's version of SessionSaver is this:
http://aasted.org/adblock/viewtopic.php?t=359

Didn't rue wish that people would move this kind of SessionSaver discussion to the aasted.org forum?

No, all I know is that the SS I have installed (and have had for some time) says 'Nightly 23' in Extension Options.

Org - the problem I have with that page is that it doesn't say what version that link installs (although I'm about to find out

). Seeing as the post hasn't been changed since March it kinda suggests it's a bit old, although I guess Rue has updated the file the link points to since then. It could be a bit clearer though...

Rue's version - from the link Org posted - gives build 23

Hi,

Rue's version perfectly worked on my old Windows installation, however my HD crashed and I had to reinstall Firefox and its extensions. Now I installed the lastest version and get the following error :

<menuitem id="sessionsaver-save-menuitem" hidden="true"
--^

It's a red error message displayed beneath the tabs contents. I thought I could reinstall it but there's no way I can desinstall SessionSaver

.

Any idea what the problem might be ?

n22 or n23 is last known good version ... n23 was trying to fix a problem that Chrysalis had http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 541#433541
they are essentially the same the difference is as rue said
It now leaves the last session intact when closing, but sets a flag. If a new session opens before shutdown (eg. Bookmarks remained open and you popped a new browser without closing it), the prior session is cleared as normal

To Rue.

Hello,

I found out why SessionSaver didn't work. Actually I used an english Firefox but when I reinstall it a few days ago, I used the auto install .exe distribution for Windows. Then I got a french Firefox ! I tried to unzip the othetr distribution, english one, and now SessionSaver works. I got back to french... Doesn't work... english... It works ! I think there's some kind of locale problem in the script. I'm not an extension developer but I quickly checked out the sources of the extension, and from the bug I reported, it seems it's not able to add itself to the File menu.

By the way, is there any official Session Saver page ? It seems it was removed from the extensions repositery. Moreover I wonder how we can easily report bugs for extensions. Isn't there any bugzilla for extensions ? It would help developers to debug their extensions instead of wasting our time on forums, most information is lost as there's no way to track bugs and stuff.

I hope french folks will soon be able to use your great extension !
JM

I have to second goa103: SessionSaver does not work at all with non-english versions of Firefox. It just gives a gray space, about 2 inches high, beneath the browser's (or tab's) content, containing the red message that goa103 quoted. And an XML processing error message when clicking the extension's settings button.
