Just put this script besides Session Manager's sessions folder in your Firefox profile directory, then run with 'node firefox-session-manager-to-chrome-tabs-outliner.js', at the end you will see migrated-firefox-session-manager-session.tree file, then import it using Chrome 'Tabs Outliner' import feature (Paid Only).

Attention: This script currently only supports sessions saved Firefox Session Manager extension with 'Tree Style Tabs' extension enabled, it can be altered to work without the need of 'Tree Style Tabs' extension, but that's another story.
