by Netcomm, 8 years agoREAD THIS FOR TAB URL RECOVERY: It's a pretty fantastic Add-On, exactly what I always had designed in my mind, thinking I'd have to be the one to develop it. But it tends to lose the URL of SOME of the suspended tabs, which makes it extremely difficult to keep using. (I'm running Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 on Win 7). There is a hack/workaround for getting the URLs back though for anyone interested. Just right click on the tab that lost the URL, and click Duplicate, and a properly duplicated tab will appear at the original URL. Also, it seems like this add-on is doing some extra funky stuff with the firefox memory config to help keep the memory low, but whatever the reason it is breaking pages that aren't inactive or suspended. As best I can tell the pages seem to be losing their cached memory states, causing them to need to be reloaded.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Reigar, 19 days 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.

Amazing, it works really well no need to configure. Using since 2021. - Rated 5 out of 5by rado84, 2 months agoI've only used this extension for 5 minutes and I already love it! Surprisingly, it still works, despite that the last update was 4 years ago. I installed it only because of this option: "Allows for the forced discarding of specified hostnames". And it works better than expected! It doesn't allow opening tabs leading to a specific site. Not just "open and then autoclose the tab", as I thought it would. It plain and simple doesn't allow the tab to be created! <3
Thanks you for creating this awesome extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by sudakaloko, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14026712, 3 months agoLove how it puts a sleep sign on inactive tabs, but when opening a sleeping tab I don't have to click again on the page to open it, the page opens automatically. Well done!
