- Rated 1 out of 5by Net_Hunter_90s, 2 months agoThis 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Luma, 4 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Music, 2 years agoNot working at all since Version 0.6.2. Have to revert to 5.0 to fix as other review mentioned. Once this issue is fixed on current version rating will improve.

- Rated 1 out of 5by lukasramroth, 3 years agoSome tabs do not get recovered bot vanish when I click on them which is an absolute no go! Also I personally do not like the emojii or custom title prefix to mark sleeping tabs, the greyed out title was easier to recognize.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15900390, 3 years agoНе работает.
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Mozilla Firefox 86.0 64-bit for ubuntu canonical - 1.0. - Rated 1 out of 5by mondocane, 3 years agoUsed to work fairly good, but since the last update, tabs don't discard and I haven't changed my settings any from previous versions I used. Had to uninstall. Disappointed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by zephyr707, 4 years agoSwitched to a new tab to look something up while working on a new post to reddit. Previous reddit tab was discarded by Auto Tab Discard and upon return the title remained, but the text box was cleared. Absolutely unacceptable loss of time and effort that makes me question how safe this extension is to use anymore.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Heinz, 4 years agoI found it not very useful as it doesn't discard tabs just marks them as inactive. That however isn't the issue. Upon removal it forces you on addOn.com for feedback and opens a tab with this which I find hugely invasive and quite bad taste.
