This review is for all the users who are installing this and maybe to dev of this addon who doesnt consider firefox users or firefox browser anything anymore.

Auto Tab Discard here was updated on "Dec 17, 2022" (one can check it updates by themselves) but on chrome, (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-tab-discard-suspend/jhnleheckmknfcgijgkadoemagpecfol) and on edge (https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/auto-tab-discard-suspend/nfkkljlcjnkngcmdpcammanncbhkndfe), it was recently updated on "February 17, 2024".

The most unfortunate is that there is not a single addon that allows us to suspend or discard open tabs for firefox. Even firefox team hasnt brought in the feature of memory saver like chrome did with 120 and MS edge did with 111 versions. So, if you use this addon or not on chrome or chromium browsers, it doesnt matter since chrome inbuilt settings at "chrome://settings/performance", can manage your open tabs. But for firefox users, you are third class citizens.

This addon, in terms of usage in its current format, doesnt work, because browser usage stats via task manager and CPU noise, is as same as without this addon. Also, if you restart or open your firefox browser after some time or any time, it reloads all tabs. In chrome, with same process, it keeps those pre-suspended tabs, suspended whatsoever, until, I dont click it to activate or unsuspend.

I hope users using firefox or firefox forks like librewolf, waterfox, floorp browser or iceraven browser, will look into this and request dev to update this addon and actually make it usable with firefox 124 and forks in 2024.

In short, dev prioritizes chrome addon over firefox addon and updates chrome version only and firefox addon lacks feature and doesnt help or is unusable.

This extension is awesome for keeping my browser fast and my laptop battery lasting longer. It automatically puts inactive tabs to sleep, freeing up memory and reducing CPU use without closing anything. When I switch back, the tab just reloads right where I left off. It’s super lightweight, easy to use, and works quietly in the background. Perfect for people who keep lots of tabs open but don’t want their computer to slow down. Simple, effective, and really useful.

Been a Firefox user since it was an alpha release. I've never written a review for any extension until now. This extension made Firefox on Ubuntu usable for me again. I typically have several tabs opened at all time. After 12 or so, Firefox would become nearly unusable, particularly if any videos began playing in those tabs. Auto Tab Discard has made it to where I can have several dozen tabs open and everything runs fine. To the developer, thank you so much for this.

One thing I will point out is that the name is a bit misleading - No tabs appear to be discarded, thrown away, or deleted. They are just put in a suspended state and removed from active memory. At one time, I thought Firefox had a feature like this built in however, if that still exists, it no longer works very well. Auto Tab Discard is an absolute must for me now.

I think the description says it all, but I'll add that the benefits of this addon are immense, and it is amazing to me that it isn't built into the browser. This addon turned my old laptop from unusable to nice to browse on. In addition, as a heavy tabber with hundreds of tabs open, it allows me to run more memory-intensive software on my desktop without closing my browser.

It appears that the AI-powered tab grouping of Firefox keeps this extension from being effective.
You need to turn off 'Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups' in Settings > General.

The extension discards tabs more than Tab Unloading, a function of Firefox and is more flexible.
I still needs it.

Edit: Options work perfectly now, it was problem on my end.

Useful for my potatoe, but the options do not take effect for me for some reason which would be super helpful otherwise. Thank you. Shall revise the review when I can get that working.

Good, but firefox now has built-in tab discard/unload feature, so in fact you don't need this anymore.
