At this point in time, I have about 25 tabs open. I can't quit Firefox, as I don't want to lose them all. I don't want to bookmark them either, as I won't require them forever. But for the next month or so, I'd like to be able to load them all, change them and save them as a session - like when Firefox crashes and allows me to "restore" my session, well, I'd like to save it (saving it as a session file, of which I can create as many as I like).

== Firefox Needs A <span style="background-color: #FFFF00"><font color="#FF0000">Built-in</font></span> SESSION MANAGER! ==
The current release, 2.0.0.1, of Firefox does not support SESSION MANAGER Extensions by various Extension developers and these developers for the most part have given up playing "keep-up" with the various Firefox releases because of the substantial demands on the very limited time they can devote to keep SESSION MANAGER updates compatible with new releases of Firefox.
That brings us to TODAY. The SESSION MANAGER functionality--the ability to save groups of open Firefox tabs as "Saved Sessions" having various names and to reopen these groups at a later date--is a MUST for most Firefox-ers. Just look at the online posts for these Extensions and see the furor developing because the developers for these SESSION MANAGER Extensions just don't have the time to rewrite or completely re-develop their Extensions every time Firefox comes out with a new release. Many Firefox-ers are even choosing NOT TO UPDATE their Firefox browser just so they can have the functionality of the SESSION MANAGER Extension that's compatible with older versions of Firefox. This creates a SERIOUS SECURITY RISK to these non-updaters, as now their Firefox browser may be susceptible to various security flaws.
