As Firefox gets greedier and greedier with memory use (not to mention memory management bugs that never get fixed by devs) it is nice to be able to put unused tabs to "sleep".

Only 4 stars because the White Listing of tabs to keep them awake doesn't seem to work for me any more.

    Brilliant app. Life saver for computers having low ram installed. Best across the board.

    All new tabs crash with this extension now. If the add-on won't be updated, there's no point in continuing to use it

    i would just like to know when a update will be made because it's been 2 years

    Awesome extension. Very useful for managing sleeping tabs automatically and/or manually.

    Fantastic add-on. One feature request though - could you add the ability to not automatically reload the tab when viewing a discarded tab. In other words, if I click on a discarded tab, it should show a "discarded tab" page and only when I "click" on the page should it load. The reason is that lots of time I accidentally switch to a discarded tab and then it loads the tab when I really wanted it to stay discarded. This is a feature that the Marvellous Suspender has and I think it would be a great feature addition here.

    Lifesaver if you are working with dozens of tabs and tab groups.

    Yeah, apparently abandonware. Will NOT unload pinned tabs at browser startup, and no update since 2022. Three years? Come on!

    ---TO THE DEVELOPER:
    CHECK THE 1 STAR REVIEWS, AS IT SEEMS THAT THIS ADDON DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD?
