Is it possible to make FireFox remember closed tabs forever?

FireFox has an option browser.sessionstore.cleanup.forget_closed_after which has maximum of about 2-3 weeks. This means that FireFox will forget the closed tabs after that time. But I use session manager to be able to re-open closed tabs and use FireFox for a limited number of tasks (including using TiddlyWiki which uses hash as sort of breadcrumbs engine, so I need tabs with which I worked remembered with hash) and I need closed tabs to be remembered forever (well, for sure more than for 2-3 weeks). Is it possible to disable this "forgeting" of closed tabs at all? Is it possible using plugins?

Hello, see if the next helps : Session Manager add-on

thank you

Take a look at this Add-ons search - a number of different add-ons that may meet your needs, beyond Session Manager.

Note that current Firefox versions only store a maximum of 10 entries of tab back history as part of stored session data in the sessionstore.js file. You lose tab back history beyond those ten entries when you use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" to restore open tabs on the next start. The default is 10 and a value of -1 will disable this maximum and allows to keep all back history entries.
