I've been using https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery
It also suggests you a way to hide the top bar, it can be dynamic or permanent depending on how you configure your userChrome.css

It provides you a way set up snapshots, although I haven't tested the restore functionality hehe.
I'm not sure how you can export them and back them up.

The one I know works for restoring your tabs is https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager
But if you use sidebery to have your trees, panels, and groups, this one won't restore them, you'll get back on long list of tabs in a single panel, with no groups or trees. I already had to restore a session with this one because I changed computer. It has a way to backup your sessions in the cloud.

Dude! Sidebery is THE best session manager around. You create snapshots and have tons of configuration over how and when to take them. Mine backs up every 5 minutes and keeps a few days worth. Every time some other fuckery has caused me to lose my all my tabs, sidebery has had a perfectly working backup. And it keeps the exact window layout you had. It’s by far the best

Also there is a script for userChrome.css that shows/hides sidebery on mouse hovering. Very useful for laptop screen.

https://github.com/Redundakitties/colorful-minimalist/tree/main/hacks Check sideberyMods.css (you should add content of this file to your userChrome.css. If it doesn't work just search sidebery autohide on reddit.

I do personality like Simple Tab Groups.

You can use Firefox bookmarks to do this. Select as many tabs as you want, right click, and you can create a bookmark folder containing all your tabs. When you want to reopen them, right click on the bookmark folder, then click "Open All Bookmarks" if you want to open all of them at once.

I liked OneTap because of how it structured the tabs in another tab. But I will probably take that approach it's much safer.

Thank you

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah I like how OneTap looks honestly, but if it just deletes all your tabs sometimes....that's not a good option unfortunately.

Tab Stash because it organizes Tabs in a tree style side menu, it's awesome
