Load Background Tabs Lazily by kgersen

by Pouriya, 6 years agoHi, Each time I quit firefox the pausing feature disables and I have to click Pause Loading again. Why does this happen? Could you fix this?
Edit: Hey again! Thank you for your fast response and updating the extension. Yes I am using this extension instead of LoadTabOnSelect. To me it's easier to use and has more options (Now it's perfect and I don't need to have two add-ons installed at the same time). I have another problem. Maybe I don't know how to use the add-on but is there any option to change the state of all active tabs (except the one we are already using) into paused tabs like they have just been opened and then paused by the extension? This way system resources will be freed until we select the tab we want. Thank you again :)

posted 6 years agoYou could try using 'Auto Tab Discard'. It interferes very little with this extension. It can discard inactive tabs (removing much of them from memory) after a certain amount of seconds. Auto Tab Discard doesn't discard loading tabs, tabs with about:blank URLs (tabs blocked from loading by this extension have about:blank URLs), or tabs with moz-extension URLs (session proof tabs). It works best if the option 'Make new background tabs session proof' is selected, unless you close firefox down after loading all the background tabs.
However, please read the 'Known Issues' before using 'Auto Tab Discard'.
