di taco, 2 anni faLoving the addon so far ! Been using it for months now and had zero bugs, it has simply just worked 100% of the time, which is amazing.
I have a feature request though which in my opinion would add to it's value immensely.
As the core goal of this is not necessarily reducing the number of loaded tabs, but rather reducing CPU (and by extension, battery/heat/power) usage, RAM and disk I/O. So what would be great, would be the possibility to unload tabs by their resource usage. This data is available in firefox profiler capabilities but it's rather cumbersome going checking the data by hand through the debugging tools.
The feature could be added as a new condition to be mixed with others, like after X open tabs unload tabs which use >X% CPU and/or >X MB RAM / unload the next highest resource usage tab / after X minutes close tabs using X% cpu or X MB RAM / only close tabs which use >X resources.
Adding a tooltip when hovering over a tab which displays their CPU/RAM usage would be neat too.
For my use case as I've moved the FF profile to ram disk and I have plenty of RAM, I don't really care about disk I/O or RAM usage, but badly coded CPU-heavy scripts on some sites makes browsing a slog (not to mention killing the battery when on a laptop), hence this plugin. But a static site which runs very little to no scripts does not really contribute to the resource usage, unlike some badly behaving sites.
And systems which are more starved of RAM, could start unloading tabs by highest RAM usage instead, when total RAM usage exceeds X MB as a condition, for example.
Anyway, just my two cents for now, and keep up the good work !

- Valutata 5 su 5di Scoox, 19 ore faThis is very good. I have loads of tabs open simultaneously and was having problems with high memory usage. This plugin instantly took care of the problem. The configuration can seem a bit daunting at first but it's worth taking the time to go through and understand every setting to get the the most out of this add-in.
I notice certain "special tabs" are not being discarded, for example, Sidebery folder tabs, Firefox Preferences pages, and add-on options pages. Regarding Sidebery folder tabs, perhaps they are being seen as active all the time because Sidebery is active and those tabs are part of it? This doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's not intentional.
My only tiny criticism would be the lack of documentation, since some settings are somewhat cryptic especially if you are not a techie. Eventually I managed to figure out almost every setting through trial and error.
I'd like to sugges a floating Save Options button that's always visible, thereby eliminating the need to scroll down to the bottom each time settings need saving. This would make experimentation less time-consuming.
In short: A fantastic add-on. Big thank you to the author/authors! - Valutata 5 su 5di skypie, 2 giorni fa

- Valutata 5 su 5di Iqbal Faaizi, 4 giorni faWhy not rename it to something that reflects its feature better? I've known about this extension for a long time but never installed it because I initially thought it was meant to close tabs.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18613498, 8 giorni faThis extension is nothing short of revolutionary for heavy browser users like me. As someone who regularly juggles dozens, sometimes hundreds, of tabs across multiple Firefox windows, I've experienced firsthand the strain this puts on system resources. With only 16GB of RAM on my Mac, I often found myself teetering on the edge of 80-90% memory usage, a situation that even dedicated memory cleaning apps struggled to alleviate for more than a few seconds
Unbelievable Performance
Auto Tab Discard is on a whole different level than other tab management solutions I've tried.
• Dramatic Memory Reduction: With around 50 tabs open, the extension's impact was immediately noticeable. However, the true test came when I pushed it to the limit .
• Handling Hundreds of Tabs: Upon opening hundreds of tabs across several Firefox windows, my system's memory usage skyrocketed to 90%. Activating Auto Tab Discard resulted in an astonishing drop to 53% memory usage - a level that remained stable!! What?! ?
• Consistent Performance: Even after adding another 80 tabs in a new window and starting a YouTube video, the extension managed to keep memory usage hovering around 50%.
In my opinion, if you are a power user and struggle with browser & memory issues from having tons of tabs open, this extension’s ability to dramatically reduce memory consumption while maintaining a smooth browsing experience will shock you. At least, it has shocked me. It has fundamentally changed how I manage my browser workflow, allowing me to keep numerous tabs open without sacrificing system performance. Frankly, I’m gobsmacked. - Valutata 5 su 5di Seän "Frostbyte" Shepherd, 11 giorni fa

- Valutata 5 su 5di OliverWolf, un mese faAbsolutely fantastic addon. I'm a tab hoarder and this cut my ram usage from 45GB down to 20GB! Very impressed!
- Valutata 4 su 5di Shade74, un mese faThis add-on works very well for improving performance, is easy to use, and has lots of customization options. However, one feature that it's sorely missing is the ability to view a tab or bring a tab into focus without un-discarding it. This is a major issue for me because I scroll through tabs to navigate my browser, so I end up loading a bunch of tabs I don't want to load. If there was an option to only un-discard a tab when I click in the tab instead of when I open it, this would be perfect.

- Valutata 4 su 5di Rikko, un mese faВ целом хорошо.
Из нюансов:
1. Значок 💤 отнимает полезное пространство и не так хорошо сигнализирует как если бы сама иконка сайта становилась серой, как в The Marvellous Suspender, например. Иногда возникает путаница если 💤 эмодзи присутствует в названии сайта.
2. Скорость загрузки выгруженного сайта занимает много немного больше времени, чем ожидаешь и этим раздражает.
3. Большая нагрузка при выгрузке и попытках выгрузки сайтов расширением. С включением данного расширения появляются периодические подвисания системы. - Valutata 5 su 5di pdr, 2 mesi fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Fractal-7, 2 mesi faGreat add-on, why is this not integrated into Firefox directly? Pretty sure Chrome is good at suspending tabs intelligently, but FF lately has been hogging CPU on certain idle sites, just freeze their DOM & JS execution.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18593181, 2 mesi faGreat add-on, thank you! Would it be possible to add an option to disable all tabs except the current one? That would be incredibly useful.
- Valutata 1 su 5di Mephistopheles, 2 mesi faGreat idea, but didn't work for what I wanted it to do (Stop nazibook from refreshing when I didn't tell it to) and the settings menu wasn't exactly clear
