- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Noscere, 2 dagen lynOverall, after usinig this extension for several months, I really like it. The reason I have only given four stars is because there is one addition I would like to see...
I will explain. I like the level of control provided by the Suspender settings, being able to whitelist, control which tabs get suspended and for how long, being able to suspend the suspender for X period of time, and so on.
Every time I have had a need to alter the suspending of my tabs I have been able to do it. However, today I could not. I wanted to keep the extension running in one browser window, but suspend operation in another browser window (EG it works for all tabs in window 1, and disabled for all tabs in window 2 - obviously whitelist applies still on window 1)...
However I was unable to do what I wanted. I have been able to fine tune Tab Suspender exactly the way I want (or in a similar equally effective way) every time I have needed to. Only this time, I could not. Save temporarily whitelisting all the tabs in window 2 (and thus any tabs in window 1 for that site/domain get whitelisted also), there was no way to achieve the desired effect.
This is the reason I do not give 5 stars, even though I do want to. In all likelihood, having multiple firefox windows open is not the default mode of operation, and so I would put this additional feature into the "Pause Suspender" settings page, and along with the "Pause Suspender for X period of time" control, have a ticklist/toggle to choice which window(s) to pause (or which window to not pause, depending on how you want to word it). - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Node, ien moanne lyn
- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 19950504, ien moanne lynUsed an insane amount of processing power for 0 reason and once uninstalled it still worked with the session without the lag and performance usage
edit; Might be a memory loop but traces are still in my brower: Quite a weird issue as now all my tabs expect a few "suspend" but is nice; if possible though i do want to look into why its still aroundTiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ien moanne lynIts working fine on my end. Please provide more details. Feel free to create issue on my github or send an email. - Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur FireFox-User-1, 2 moannen lyn

- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Raph CJ, 3 moannen lynI've been looking for tab suspender that has screenshot feature because I want to monitor a list every few hours that will change on refresh and I have to take note what was the last stuff on that list before refresh, and this works great. If I may suggest, please add option to control the transparency of Tab Suspended white box, or maybe the option to make it smaller. Also, I don't know if this also happens on browser restart, but after I restarted the PC and opened my browser, the tabs will still be suspended but the screenshots was gone. Is it possible to make the screenshots stay on this condition?

yeffeɣ-d deg 3 moannen lynHi, thanks for the review and reporting the bug. I'll look into it. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur LunchBoxSteveC, 3 moannen lynThis is the answer to my prayers. I need a lot of tabs open at one time, especially from YouTube and this means that I could be using over 25gb of RAM without this suspender. But not anymore thanks to Tab Suspender!! Now I'm only using 13gb. I've saved over 12gb of RAM and no longer is my Mac using swap file on the hard disk and no longer does my computer feel unresponsive and slow and I also don't see the spinning colour wheel anymore and I used to encounter this regularly. I have an M4 Mac with 32gb of RAM and it used to run like an old 386 with Dial-up because Firefox doesn't know how to manage memory properly. Thanks for such a great extension!

yeffeɣ-d deg 3 moannen lynThank you for your review. Yes, Firefox is terrible at managing RAM. Glad my addon helped you out. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Newtomic, 3 moannen lynGood features, but making a notification each time a tab is suspended no thanks.
- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur gSlay, 4 moannen lynFor some reason the only tab suspender that seems to work for me. I wonder if it would be possible to have an option for automatically waking up a tab upon switching to it?
Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 4 moannen lynThanks for the review. Frankly, the whole point of making this extension was so that tabs don't automatically load if I switch back to it, but I'll see if I can add this option. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur queerstudbroalex, 4 moannen lynWorks as advertised. I'm also calling for an option to disable the zzz on suspended tabs!

yeffeɣ-d deg 4 moannen lynThanks for the stars, and I have already implemented that option. I just need to patch some things, then release. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 19690659, 5 moannen lyn

- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 17386175, 7 moannen lynIt could have better with the header title when showing title while suspending that exists URL layout, I'm more used to it like the great suspender.
Additional, It doesn't reduce RAM usage, it's same as active tabs. :-(Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 6 moannen lynWell, the old version didn't use native Discard API, so it still used resources, although low. The latest update uses native Discard API, so it saves the exact same memory as something like Auto Tab Discard or native Firefox discarding. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Gofawu, 7 moannen lynWork well BUT we need an option to NOT suspend an active tab (even without sound or input), if i have a tab open, i don't want to suspend it, even if my mouse is not on it :/
I only want to suspend tab that are not open
Edit because i can't answer directly ;
If i have a youtube 3 Youtube tab opened, even if one is "active", they will all be suspended if they don't have sound playing or have input, but the one that are opened (visible on the window, sorry i don't know how to explain it better) i don't want that one to be suspendedTiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 7 moannen lynHi! I'm afraid I did not understand. Did you want to whitelist certain sites so they never suspend? If so, that's already implemented. You can right click on a page and whitelist a site. Also, tabs that are not open i.e closed, cannot be suspended as the browser cannot 'see' them anymore. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Hyperduel, 8 moannen lynSuggestion for dev...if you could specify the website TITLE on each of the suspended pages (perhaps right above the image near the top of the white box)...then this would make navigation so much easier when clicking across multiple suspended tabs. Hopefully this can be added in a future update! Great addon though, thanks.
- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18844925, 8 moannen lynIt seems the suspended tabs disappear after every update?

yeffeɣ-d deg 8 moannen lynThanks for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the trouble. This update was a major overhaul to improve performance and memory use. I know it may have caused disruption, and I’m working to make future updates smoother. Your input is much appreciated. it helps guide improvements. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur John Albert, 9 moannen lynCool addon! Keeps my browser snappy by suspending inactive tabs without breaking a sweat. The UI’s clean, way better than clunky alternatives, and I dig how it skips tabs with unsaved forms or media. The ZZZ animation’s a bit gimmicky, but it’s fine. Wish there was a toolbar button to toggle it off quickly when I’m multitasking. Still, it’s solid for managing my tab chaos. But please, more updates.
- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 17975234, 9 moannen lynThe biggest limitation that this extension has is the inability to export your white list or sync them to your Mozilla account which then would sync across your devices.

yeffeɣ-d deg 9 moannen lynThat's not a bad idea. I'm working on implementing them for next update as long as there isn't any unexpected issues. Edit: Hey, I fixed the biggest limitation you pointed out, feel free to reinstall my addon. - Yettwasezmel 1 ɣef 5sɣur anon, 10 moannen lyn
- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur c3l, ien jier lynDefinitely working as intended! Functions akin to The Great Suspender/the Marvellous Suspender. Haven't tested the RAM consumption yet though.
Would love an option to manually suspend a tab, and also have the tab title be the original title, instead of showing "Suspended:...". As much as this is helpful in differentiating between suspended and active tabs, when you have multiple tabs on one window, it's just a row of "Suspended"s.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ien jier lynThanks for your review. I'll consider your requests for the next update. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 14929586, ien jier lynPlease check the latest version:
It suspends immediately all the new tabs that I opened through "Open Link in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Container Tab".
And as long as I click away, i.e. switch to other tab, some tab, e.g. the homepage of this addon on mozilla will immediate become suspended, after it become an inactive tab.

yeffeɣ-d deg ien jier lynHi! I checked on Firefox 137.0.2 by clicking on open link in new tab and open link in new container tab from context menu and I didn't catch any issues. I changed some tab suspending logic so could you try removing and reinstalling the addon to see if that fixes it? - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Pompom, ien jier lynIt's working, but may I ask for "Whitelist" or something? I don't want to suspend specific websites
Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ien jier lynSure! I'll push an update with that functionality soon. Thanks for your review. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18700393, ien jier lynFeatures work as expected. Kind of like the Great suspender chrome extension.
