I use both often but how well does Tab Session Manager work for you? I've been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I'd try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It's really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
I have to say I've never had that happen, but I mostly use it as backup in case Firefox's own session restore fails or is overwritten somehow. I'm not sure what you can do, sorry :/

One that is more specific to Lemmy, which I am working on
While this is extension is mine and I have an obvious bias, I am using the extension constantly for my personal use as well. Might be nice for others too :)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca
fixed!
That’s something my extension actually helps with as well :)
Facebook Container, if you're like me and feel forced to use that godawful site because all your friends are still there.
Plus another vote for uBlock Origin (I have a feeling that one will come up a lot).

"I don't care about cookies" was acquired by Avast. I would suggest you use I still don't care about cookies.

- My O'Reilly Downloader - if you have an account already, but want to persist some material to peruse at a later time
- TreeStyleTab
- ContainerProxy - I have mullvad running in gluetun container on my desktop PC, and it exposes HTTP proxy endpoint over Tailscale, so I can have VPN for my webbrowsing, without having to connect. This does not give me full protection, but I use tailscale a lot, and it doesn't play well with Mullvad.

My 2 cents:
- LeechBlock - for blocking distracting websites on schedules
- Unhook - for hiding YouTube recommended videos, comments and other distractions
- Privacy Badger - for blocking trackers
In addition to ublock,
I would also suggest
-
decentraleyes
Stores commonly used librarys localy,
instead of downloading them from a third party. -
clearURLs
Removes tracking parameters from links. -
google search fixer
Shows the more advanced search features,
That firefox for Android currently doesn't get -
video Background Play Fix
What the name says,
Good when you use youtube in the browser.
Ublock Origin and Adblock Plus
Unhook
Adblock Plus on top of uBlock?
