A hacky nodejs script to restore Quicksaver's tab groups from Firefox session backup. This is very hacky and may not properly parse your session json but it did for mine.

// This script restores tab groups from Firefox session backup.
// For my case, OSX, the session backup is at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/{random string}.default/sessionstore-backups/previous.js
// Actually this backup file is a JSON file so the script just parses it and pretty-print as html file.
var fs = require('fs');
var obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('previous.js', 'utf8'));
var tabgroups = JSON.parse(obj["windows"][0]["extData"]["tabview-group"]);

tabgroups["pin"] = {"title": "Pinned tab"};
console.log("<html><head></head><body>");
