- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 3 months agoI don't understand why this extension's feature is simply not part of Firefox's native engine! It sounds like an essential feature of the browser's behaviour, mainly for users that have to restart the browser several times a day, with dozens of tabs reloading all at once.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Luke, 2 years agoWonderful extension, but the recent update and permission change is confusing and will lead many users to think the extension is broken
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14140733, 2 years agoA must have for loading a bunch of tabs without DDoS attacking back end servers.
- Rated 5 out of 5by SpringCatalogue, 2 years agoThere were issues with 110.0 (64-bit) and loading tabs, and the dev fixed it almost the same day. donate button?

- Rated 5 out of 5by ginnsa, 4 years agoomg thank you so much for this. I had to open 200 Steam pages and there's no way I could've done it staying sane without this extension. thank you very much for having updated it to work with fx 56 and on.
only downside for me is the font. Can you use some non-serif font like Arial or Verdana? - Rated 5 out of 5by Mariachi, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ruane, 5 years agoPlease add a way to export&import settings, I lost mine on a power failure, I think it's a Firefox bug since I lost my settings in many extensions when it happened, fortunately I had a settings backup of all important extensions...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12531918, 6 years agoIs it possible to limit CPU usage of tabs loading in background? Ideally - to decrease their process priority.

posted 6 years agoThere should soon be an about:config setting named dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.enabled that will reduce priority of background processes. It's not quite ready yet. You can read about it here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476981 - Rated 5 out of 5by 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 :)Developer response
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'. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14146598, 6 years agoWorks great! Now my laptop's fan isn't blasting on full power since numerous tabs are being loaded progressively.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kawzen, 7 years agoHello @kgersen,
Can you please add an option to add all failed to load tabs to the line again and start loading them
(if 20 tabs waiting to load in the line and my connection dropped all tabs will fail to load, the option to add them to the line again and start loading them will be very helpful as this situation unfortunately happens to me frequently)
Thanks again for this awesome extension!
Edit:
Thank you very much!
(The "Server not found" is correct but also for the same case I get this title "Problem loading page", you can switch browser to offline mode and try to navigate and you will get it)
I really appreciate your work ♥
Edit2:
I just found the option to change the specific title for the failed to load tabs, maybe it should accept multiple titles
Edit3:
Working great! I'm really very grateful :)
