Good for saving resources without needing to close tabs completely. However There seems to be a bug with the way the "Discard All Other Tabs" function works.

It appears to respect the whitelist and blacklist features of the addon like auto-discarding does. I suspect that this isn't the intended behavior, because discarding tabs using "Discard Tab" ignores the lists. This is what I expected with "Discard All Other tabs" because it's being done manually just like "Discard Tab" is. Because it doesn't ignore them, I initially thought that this function just didn't work at all.

If it is the intended behavior for "Discard Tab" to ignore the lists but "Discard All Other Tabs" to respect them, it should be more clear about that. I'd also like the option for it to ignore the lists just like "Discard Tab" does, since I feel like this makes more sense, and is more useful.

The only other problem I have is that putting a discarded tab into focus automatically reloads the tab. This is pretty inconvenient and I'd much rather have the tab stay discarded until I manually reload it, or something like that.

    The best memory saver I've ever used!

    I'm a little bit of a tab hoarder... And that results in all of my 32GB of RAM filling up all the time. Then I need to close the browser and open it again, to free up my RAM. My next planned step before knowing about this extension was to buy more RAM.

    But this extension fixes the problem. All tabs that are not used just get their resources freed after some time. How this is not a standard feature in Firefox baffles me... So it goes without saying; This is a great extension!

    Heavily reduced the energy and performance being used by all the tabs I have open, highly recommended.

    I've found Auto Tab Discard very useful for many years. It keeps my browser running smooth, even when I've got upwards of 400 tabs open.

    Everything works for me (that I've set it up for) except the option to discard pinned tabs on startup. Logs just say it's not ready. But, this add-on seems to be abandoned atm :(

    Brilliant app. Life saver for computers having low ram installed. Best across the board.

    Works great but development seems dead? Last updated 2 years ago as of this post.

    All new tabs crash with this extension now. If the add-on won't be updated, there's no point in continuing to use it

    i would just like to know when a update will be made because it's been 2 years

    Awesome extension. Very useful for managing sleeping tabs automatically and/or manually.

    Fantastic add-on. One feature request though - could you add the ability to not automatically reload the tab when viewing a discarded tab. In other words, if I click on a discarded tab, it should show a "discarded tab" page and only when I "click" on the page should it load. The reason is that lots of time I accidentally switch to a discarded tab and then it loads the tab when I really wanted it to stay discarded. This is a feature that the Marvellous Suspender has and I think it would be a great feature addition here.
