    This is just awesome! I missed Load Tabs Progressively very much and this is the perfect replacement. I regularly open more than 20 tabs at ones and without this great add-on some content is not loaded because the loading runs into a timeout. Now I just can limit the number of loading tabs to e.g. 3 and everything will be correctly loaded. It is absolutely beyond my comprehension, why such a functionality is not build into Firefox by default. Thank you sooo much!

    A niche extension.., not needed for regular browsing, but very useful for "power" browsing. It's especially useful (a must!) for 'Snap Links Plus' users.
    Thank You.

    Very interesting, thanks kgersen.

    Add on 2018 Feb. 24: Is it possible to change the colour of "L" and the same thing for the "tab count"?

    Yes, it is possible. I'll try to do it soon.

    Another nice extension like "load on select" but this one can simulate better the old extension "load tabs progressively" using the hot key "alt+z". Would be great if you could customize the hot key or make like the same extension "load tabs progressively". BTW thank you very much.

    The default extension hotkeys can't be changed right now. One way to work around this for Windows users is to download and install the AutoHotkey program. Create a file named Firefox.ahk and then copy the code at the bottom and paste it into the file. Place this file in the Startup folder and then run it. Now, if a user presses Win-G in a Firefox window, it will invoke this extensions Alt-Z pause hotkey. The Win-G hotkey can be changed in the file to whatever hotkey is desired ( https://autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm ).

    $#g::
    ifWinActive, ahk_exe firefox.exe
    {
    send !z ; Alt-Z extension pause hotkey
    return
    } else {
    send #g ; Win-G hotkey
    return
    }

    Apparently working great!!!

    I used to use Load Tabs Progressively and i missed it a lot!!!

    Isn't there a way to avoid users to have to change about:config options manually???

    That would be good

    (i'm guessing a few will not use the addon just because of that...)
