What is the session manager button?

more options

The summary when I cursor over is "Display and manage your sessions" but it has always been grayed out. It was an optional icon to add to the toolbar, but I haven't been able to find any info on what it does. Also, the "What's new with Firefox 4" page mentioned something about smooth scrolling between tabs, but I haven't been able to find any info on that either. Thanks!

"Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox's tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featured session manager. "

I can't help you with that extension as I have never used it. Feature help for TMP is here:

Sounds like you have a "Session" extension installed, the default Firefox doesn't have a button like that.

{ Ctrl + Shft + A } then hit the Extension menu item on the left, and look for a "Session" extension. If you right-click it and select Visit Home Page you should find instructions for using that extension.

Wow, thanks for the fast response! Well let's see. Would either FoxyTunes 4.3.0, Java Console 6.0.24, StumbleUpon 3.81, or TabMixPlus 0.3.8.6 be a session manager? It's not a part of my Stumble toolbar. And since it's grayed out I'm not able to see what sort of options it has. I guess if I can't figure out what it does and it's just related to an unknown add-on I'll probably remove it from my toolbar to save a half inch of space :) Also, do you know if there's anything to the smooth scrolling between tabs thing, or will I just need to use Ctrl+Tab like I always have?

Again, thanks so much. I'll see if I can figure it out on the TMP end of things. Have a good one!
