I want to second the request for backup/restore, or at least some idea where the data is stored so we can manually back it up. I had over 20 Tab groups and just lost them today, presumably due to 'clearing cache' which I had to do for DNS related reasons. Now I suppose I have to tediously recreate those 20 Tab Groups again?
This add-on is amazing! It is obviously the way my brain works (Separation of Concerns). No idea why all browsers don't have this feature by default. Makes things so much more tidy when having a tab for google stuff (gmail, calendar, keep, docs, news) and a tab for each school class and associated research, a tab for banking, etc. Please drop a hint on what files store the critical tab group data and I'll figure out a way to back them up manually - at least in their pristine state. It's too tedious to recreate 20 different groups, name them, and so on for an honest mistake! Thanks!
PS if you look at the add-on reviews there are others with the same wish. The "Undo" button is almost required in modern life.

Clearing the browser cache does not delete groups. "Refreshing" the profile on about:support
does, but it always will, since purging data is one of the main ideas behind this very function.

This extensions works with tab metadata, so the storage location is sessionstore.js
/sessionstore-backups/recovery.*
. Restoring this file will reset your entire browser session to the point where you made the backups.

Quite honestly, I am not very interested in it and so it's very unlikely I'll implement a backup/export feature. However, if someone jumps in and want to help out, sure.

Thanks, Dennis! Don't think I ever "refreshed" my profile on about:support
but the clue you gave helped me find my real issue! I was restoring the wrong profile sessionstore.js
! Had to look in profile.ini
file to find the random generated characters assigned to my default profile folder which had it's own sessionstore.js/ sessionstore-backups. Previously, I had attributed the lack of real restoration to some mystery of TabGroup data storage, but restoring the correct copy did the trick and restored my long list of Tab Groups without which I was less organized! TabGroups has become a part of how I think on my computer now.
Thank you very much for creating this extension, an absolute must-have for FF (or any browser IMHO).
PS Unrelated subject: only thing I can think of to make it even more perfect would be a quick and easy way to move a tab from one group to another (say click on the tab, choose 'move to group' and have a drop down list of all your custom groups). In other words, similar to the "move to new window" context menu. This feature is probably there already, just haven't found it yet. Useful for when I am exploring on one topic and find a site that would be more appropriate in another topic tab group.

Does the Session Manager extension work correctly together with Simplified Tab Groups? If yes, then perhaps no additional work is needed.
