They implemented a session restore feature so that users could restore their tabs, but they didn't want to make it so complicated to use that less tech-savvy users would be intimidated.

While the built in session management is better than the past, I still wish it was better. I use Session Manager to be able to save my sessions, but it still needs work in my opinion. Take a look at Maxthon 2 and you would understand, it stores the sessions in an easy to access format, you can open one single tab from a session if you want. No way in Firefox that I know of unless you bookmark all your open tabs. That's what I do occasionally when I need to.

They each use different storage mechanisms so I doubt that they can be compatible with each other. Yes, You will probably lose your sessions.

Tab Mix Plus is the one I would be most loathe to give up, though Firefox 2 has incorporated several of its best features, making less necessary than with 1.5. Anyway, does anyone know if switching from TMP's session manager to Firefox 2's will save or lose my 55 (!) TMP saved sessions? Out of the 37 extensions I have enabled (out of 73!)

Anyway, does anyone know if switching from TMP’s session manager to Firefox 2’s will save or lose my 55 (!) TMP saved sessions?

I have been noticing a few conflicts with the FaviconizeTab extension because Tab Mix Plus likes to resize tabs that I have "shrunk" down.
