User reviews
Suggestions: • Customizable light/dark mode (and/or text/background colors) • Option to remove the "Restore All Tabs" option entirely • The amount of items to show in the list should be capped at whatever the maximum Sessions value is; at the time of writing this review, it's 25, but if there's a way to have it at the variable itself so that it follows it automatically without the author needing to update it manually, that would be perfect • The amount of items to show in the list should maybe be 25 by default (or, rather, whatever the maximum sessions variable is, in any given Firefox version) • Add a (removable) option to forget all listed tabs • Allow holding the shift or control keys (or command key on Mac) to select multiple tabs from the list • When right-clicking (a) tab(s) in the list, there should be an option to forget the tab(s) • If possible, add functionality for recently-closed windows. – Maybe listed tabs could be grouped by window. – Upon right-clicking a tab, these options could be displayed in a context menu: — "Open in Current Window" — "Open in New Window" — "Open in New Private Window" — If the tab's window is currently closed (otherwise this option should be grayed-out): "Reopen Closed Window & Tab(s)" – Maybe a listed recently-closed window could be right-clicked on to reopen all of its tabs, or left-clicked on to toggle collapsing it in the list.
