- Rated 1 out of 5by wtfs, 5 years agoumm needs improve please, will change rating once options improved.
unload tab, unload other tabs, but no "unload selected tabs"
if i have 40 tabs open and I want to unload only 12 of them then:
- I have to unload 12 separate times
or
- I have to select 28 other tabs and choose unload other tabs"
very inefficient there, if I select 12 tabs and click unload, it will only unload the tab that is page active but not the 11 other tabs. please add the option to unload multi-selected tabs. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vedun, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nick, 5 years agoI previously had another plugin that worked like a charm. This one somehow works, but a lot of memory is still being leaked so I have to restart browser often. Didn't have to do it with a previous one. I'm not sure, maybe a new plugin model doesn't allow to do it so good as before, but still, the effect is currently far from perfect.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15151898, 5 years agoWOW! Installed UnloadTabs, opened Task Manager and with just one click on "Unload Other Tabs," Firefox Memory usage dropped by a full 50%! Opened the All Tabs Helper extension and confirmed that ALL TABS other than the current tab were grayed out. This is a FABULOUS tool -- thank you NiklasG!
- Rated 5 out of 5by B Tang, 6 years agoThis really works. Would be better still if it could prevent tabs from loading when opening a lot of tabs at once from a bookmark folder, or unload them each immediately when they load.

- Rated 3 out of 5by shark_bloody, 7 years agoSo I tried the add on because of the ability to prevent unloaded tabs to load, I understand that there is no APIs yet, but it does not works as I expected. May I suggest that you take a look at Tab Suspender addon? the way the developer implemented this functionality is way better in my opinion, sadly I can not use this addon due to incompatibilities with other, more crucial, extensions.
Lastly, event do some functions are working in underoptimal conditions, I would have rated it four stars if it was not because it lacks an, in my opinion, key feacture. It can't auto unload tabs.

posted 7 years agoNeither Tab Suspender not its successor Auto Tab Discard seem to prevent tabs from being unloaded.
I don't really know when I will have time to continue my work on this, but first I want to wait for bug fixes in Firefox. Some are for example landing in FF 61. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13997081, 7 years ago
