Version 1.7.3
Released Aug 13, 2026 - 95.94 KBWorks with firefox 139.0 and later• Backup folder names now use your local time. They were stamped in UTC,
showing the wrong hour outside GMT.
• Scheduled backups are more reliable. Firefox could silently stop firing
them after a restart; a backup missed while the browser was closed now
runs on the next check.
• New "Open in a new window" option in the Restore panel. It defaults to
a new window, or to the current window on Zen Browser, where a new
window arrives pre-filled with mirrored tabs.
• On Zen, restoring a backup puts tabs back inside the folder they were
saved from.
• Group names no longer keep an internal colour prefix, and restored
groups are no longer left untitled.
• Saved tab order is now stable.
• Two groups sharing a name are saved as separate folders.
• Bookmarks nested more than one folder deep are no longer skipped.Source code released under MIT License

Version 1.6.10
Released Jun 25, 2026 - 303.31 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterv1.6.6 - v1.6.10: Fixed Firefox auto backup reliability. The extension now uses a check-on-tick pattern (15-minute interval) instead of periodInMinutes alarms. Backup times are stored as time slots and checked on each tick, with automatic catch-up backup when Firefox reopens after missing a scheduled time. Alarms are re-initialized on browser startup via onStartup event.Source code released under MIT License
Version 1.6.5
Released Jun 25, 2026 - 303.24 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterv1.6.5: Fixed Firefox auto backup intermittent failure. Auto backup alarms now reliably reschedule after each trigger using a self-rescheduling pattern, and all alarm creation calls are properly awaited. This addresses a Firefox MV3 service worker issue where periodic alarms could silently stop firing.Source code released under MIT License
