Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13553517, 7 years agoThis is a great extension that does its job well - keep open tabs out of memory after a period of time. It behaves so well that sometimes I'm frustrated by not being able to search thru my "discarded" open tabs to find a tab for resurrection.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to search for all tabs that are open, regardless if "discarded" or not in Firefox?
In Chrome you can use `chrome://inspect/#pages` to list all the tabs that are opened. I can't find similar function in Firefox for that.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13197014, a month 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, 2 months 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.
