by Coffee, 2 years agoEDIT: Two days later, no answer to a simple question, and this extention not working may be interferring with other extentions. "Where is the 'tab action button'?"
Original:
So, I don't really think it's one star, but I'm out of ways to get an answer. I don't see anyother way to contact the dev besides logging into their GitHub page, where the same question was asked by another user last year, with no reply.
In the support documention, it says that you can mouse over the "tab action button" to find out why a tab isn't being discarded. Where is this button? What does it look like?
Please answer; the extention used to work well for me, and now it isn't working and I can't even troubleshoot why.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13197014, 6 days agoHave up to 300-400 web sites opened in as many tabs in 2 Firefox instances. Have been using Auto Tab Discard for about 10 years and thanks to this extension, browser uses 1.5 GB RAM +/- 500 MB. Appreciated.

- Rated 2 out of 5by GordonW, a month agoI'm very frustrated with this extension. When I installed it, I was so hopeful that it would lower the memory load of my many tabs. I tweaked the various options to get the performance I wanted (with Gemini's help). But I made the mistake of turning on "Change favicon of discarded tabs", which causes a Z icon to appear on discarded tabs -- a feature I decided I did not like. Do not do this! Because you will never be able to turn it off again. You can easily uncheck the option, but the Z icons will never stop appearing. I tried deleting the extension and then re-installing it. I tried deleting the three favicon files in the profile. I tried turning off Firefox sync for add-ons. I tried everything Gemini and I could think of, for hours. But I've finally given up and deleted the extension. I feel like I've damaged my Firefox installation by installing Auto Tab Discard. Will a Firefox refresh fix this issue? I don't know. If the developer is reading this, please post a solution, and I'll give it a test.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Reigar, 3 months agoUsing with Firefox 151.0.1 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.3 with 16 Gb of ram. Generally run about 15 tabs, with many known for eating ram (e.g., voice.google.com). On average, app will reduce consumed amount of ram from 5 gb, down to 2 gb if all tabs are asleep "aka discarded". very much worth it.
