- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15121920, a year agoWhile this does work, unfortunately the option to disable tab discarding while using an AC power source doesn't work. (the option is greyed out on 2 machines)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Professor Anomaly, a year agoDoes what it says + more. Teaches you how the internet works under it's facade as you use it. Stays out of the way and saves big on RAM!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15238948, a year agoThis is exactly what I've been wanting! I've been fighting the Firefox memory hog for much too long, needing to close and restart Firefox multiple times per day. The built-in tab unload options didn't seem to do anything, or maybe not enough. It took me just one day using Auto Tab Discard to get in the habit of whenever I'm finished with a tab but don't want to close it, I right click on the tab, click Auto Tab Discard, and Discard Tab. That keeps my memory usage at bay. I also keep an about:unloads tab open and periodically check to see if I should manually unload a tab that I missed. Unfortunately, you can only unload from the top down, not selectively. But in combination with Auto Tab Discard, I now have no reason to abandon Firefox, which I was thinking of doing. Firefox REALLY needs to have a native way to control memory usage that actually works! (Note: I also use the Simple Tab Groups extension and keep dozens of tabs available for easy access, so Auto Tab Discard works great with Simple Tab Groups.)

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kathy, a year agoI used to love this tab add on but now all these little windows open up on the bottom of Firefox. Why? I do not like that. I used to be able to click on the Firefox icon to open it back up on the bottom of the screen but cannot do that now.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15145534, a year agoThere could be a setting to delay the release of left and right tabs discard, for when you are just checking the active tab back and forth, and for when you really know you want the active tab, but loading the left and/or right tab(s) makes it take longer.
