If you use a .json extension and your Firefox has the JSON viewer enabled -- it creates a structured listed with ability to open/close different elements -- view source (Ctrl+u) to work with a "raw" copy of the data, and then open the web console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and run the script from there.
I created a webapp that is simpler to use:
- Session History: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html
Hi jecher2000,
I need your help urgently please. i would like to restore my previous session and i was able to use your 'Session History: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html' successfully but i could not reload the page bypassing the cache using Windows: Ctrl+Shift+r.
Please help me out, it's very urgent.
Thanks
Thank you for creating this.
I have a question: When I recover a session using this script, and import the file into my bookmarks library, each tab from a window is saved in its own folder. So if I recover 100 tabs from one window, 100 bookmark folders will be created. How do I change this behavior? I would like all tabs from one window to go into just one bookmark folder.
When I recover a session using this script, and import the file into my bookmarks library, each tab from a window is saved in its own folder.
Hi, the structure of the list generated by this script is quite different from an importable "bookmarks.html" file. I think you could generate a bookmarks.html file by combining code from two projects over here:
P.S. The h3 tag is the one used to indicate a folder name. Perhaps if you find/replace that to a different tag such as p then Firefox will not bother will all the folders? You might want to find/replace the h1 to h3 as an outer container.
I suggest working on a copy of the session history file, with a .json or .txt extension, rather than working on a live .js file.
Note: This also works in Chrome if you can't open your session history file in Firefox. (Tap the F12 function key to open the console in the lower part of the tab.)
