Tab Sessions Extension

Tab Sessions places an icon alongside the user's Omnibar which opens the Tab Session Manager in a popup window. From here, the user can save new tab sessions and load, update or delete old ones. The tab sessions are stored using HTML5's Local Storage feature, so they are never deleted and are particular for each browser.

Ideas for future versions:
- Sync sessions via Google account
- Prettify Tab Session Manager
+ Allow reordering of sessions
- Automatic session tracking
