Resume browsing session in Firefox
Authored by: davidfmendes on Jun 01, '07 11:03:47AM

That small extension people are talking about is cool but I go with Google Browser Sync. Because it does just the same (you get your last sessions tabs and windows) with a plus: you get that also if you open Firefox in a different computer. I use it a lot when I interrupt some browing at home and want to resume it at the office or on the road.

Resume browsing session in Firefox

GBS and Tab Mix Plus work together well [when GBS works, that is, which isn't 100% of the time]. When I leave the office and come home, my Firefox usually gets the same windows that the office Firefox had open last. From there, TMP's Session Manager handles remembering it on the local machine.

For me, GBS fails about once a week or so, often with a cryptic error about "FILE EXISTS". The point is, I can't rely on it, but it's great when it works because it brings my bookmarks and history to any of the 3 Macs I use. GBS will also bring the same info to my Windows PC. Haven't booted that in over a year, though.

I am in favor of Google Browser Sync. It not only syncs the surfing sessions, but also saved passwords, cookies etc. The best point is that you can leave your session at home, and open exactly the same session in the office, for example. Click here for more info
