How to save or export opened webpages to another computer?

Can we restore multiple browser instance such as opened tabs, multiple browser windows etc opened during previous browsing session ? this was the question bothered me from long time since i started blogging and entered my professional life...

many times i open multiple web pages(tabs) looking for some important programming solutions during this time it would have been 10's of tabs(pages) at this type of scenarios i feel the need to save the session so that i can reopen all the web-pages some time later, but if you are not a geek you would have end-up copying all the links to the notepad and openings it in later point of time which needed copying and pasting url in address bar... but this is not only cumbersome work but also you loose previous navigational history some time which would be of greater importance...

i think many of you would have come across such a situation and thought notepad was the only answer but do you guys know that there is a plugin called session managers and fortunately most of the browser have similar plugins which comes to your rescue which helps in managing multiple sessions by saving and even exporting it to other computers webbrowsers.

Firefox:
Firefox has a plugin called "Session Manager" which helps you in saving the session and restoring state of all windows" which does automatically or upon crash whats more

1. You can encrypt the sessions so that it can only be opened with identical key3.db files
2. Prompt for a previous session at firefox startup
3. Configure max not of windows and tabs to remember and much more

If you want to save the session files on desktop so that you can email or copy it to another computer to later restore just go to option and change the path to desktop as shown in below pic

visit this site to install the plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/

This plug-in served a great purpose for me because many times i save a important browsing session in office and export in my home computer so that i never loose browsing experience.

Google Chrome:
Session Manager plugin for google chrome is similar to firefox Session manager plugin but with limited features but works well to save and reopen the closed tabs using session manager plugin as shown in below pic

you can install session manager plugin for chrome from https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bbcnbpafconjjigibnhbfmmgdbbkcjfi its basic and works like a charm.

Internet Explorer:
Though i did not find any free session manager addon for IE8 but there is a session manager which is a share ware which works similar to google chrome but has less features compared to firefox session manager click here to visit the publishers...

this addon is (shareware) free to try with annoying pop-up message box if you found it useful you can register it by paying a licence fee visit here to download http://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/IE_Session_Manager/

if you guys know any free session managers for IE8 do comment here and overall firefox session manager is most powerful and flexible in my review do give it a try and you will be impressed.
