This article outlines the first steps to take if you encounter a problem while using Session Buddy.

1.  Save your data

Begin by backing up your Session Buddy data:

  • Using Session Buddy’s Backup Feature: Click the gear icon in Session Buddy and select “Backup” to save your collections and history. See Backup and Restore.
  • If Session Buddy Won’t Open: Use the saveData() console command to download a file containing all collections and history.
  • Manual Backup: If the above methods fail, manually copy the Session Buddy data folders to a safe location.

2.  Restart the browser

Ensure a complete shutdown of your browser before restarting:

On Windows: Close all browser windows. Then check the tool tray for the browser icon. If it is present, right-click it and click “Exit“.

On macOS: Press Cmd+Q to quit the browser. Then check the Dock for the browser icon. If it’s still there, right-click and choose “Quit” if available.

After restarting, check if the issue persists. If it does, proceed to the next step.
