Steps to reproduce:

There are several extensions with session manager functionality:
* Session Manager (300 000 users in 2016) 
* Tab Session Manager (60 000 users and growing)
* MySessions (8000 users and growing)
* Tab Mix Plus (600 000 users in 2017).

The aim of this meta-bug is to group all bugs related to missing and available APIs needed by session managers. Especially, Michael Kraft’s Session Manager had a lot of options and it would be great if they can be supported by APIs. 

Here, it can be also the place to discuss what is the best way to support session managers with APIs.
