- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13266512, 8 years agoPowerful! So glad to regain control of my CPU from poorly written web pages running in the background!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shajirr, 8 years agoI consider this to be a mandatory to use addon.
 If you have lots of tabs, Firefox does not have any automatic way of preventing them from being loaded forever, eating RAM in the background, and this is where this addon helps greatly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by JoeGD, 8 years agoGreat addon; useful and efficient.
 To the developer:
 Could you make the favicons dimmer when a tab is discarded? sometimes I forget which tabs are unloaded and end up loading them by mistake.
 Is it possible to automatically discard non-active tabs when a certain amount of RAM is being used?
 Thanks for the addon. It's a lifesaver.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13525754, 8 years agoSwitched to this from Tab Suspender. Needed something that would work with the Tree Tab (Kroppy) session export feature. This extension does the job perfectly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13754061, 8 years agoIt makes FF usable again - without it FF eats a lot of CPU/Memory if you have many tabs
- Rated 5 out of 5by Andromeda Rabbit, 8 years agoThis does not work with F58 but if you read the description you will know this works with F59, which is currently in alpha. Use F59 if you want this.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13712230, 8 years agoLove it! Much smoother than the non-native extension. One thing though: can you implement sync for settings and exceptions whitelist?
- Rated 5 out of 5by kergoth, 8 years agoGreat addon. It doesn't seem to discard tabs with forms, though, even if I configure it to do so, and even if the forms have no new text input (i.e. any random page with a search box isn't unloaded).
