- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15237794, 5 years agoGood extension! It does what it says, and the options are pretty flexible.
My only complaints are: a) I wish it cached page data when discarding, b) I wish it wouldn't resume a page just because I've ctrl+tabbed past it; I'd love an option to make it resume on click as in The Great Suspender, and c) I wish it could do more about the FF memory usage, though that last one is as much on Mozilla as the author. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15106395, 5 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14480453, 5 years agoMy memory usage doesn't really go down and instead my CPU usage goes up, making things even slower than they already were. This literally does the opposite for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15207147, 5 years agoThis is greatest addon.
Makes Firefox usable again.
Without it Firefox eats too much memory and is sluggish.
I have also adjusted discard time to few hours to prevent unintended discharding .
I want to discard tabs only if they are not used for more than day. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15202989, 5 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15185247, 5 years agoUnintelligible. The word DISCARD is in no way synonymous with PAUSE. They have completely different meanings. Developer needs to read a dictionary. So what exactly does this do? After "discarding" does the tab still appear? If you select the tab, does it "un-PAUSE" ???

- Rated 5 out of 5by Traumflug, 5 years agoWith some settings adjustments (e.g. raising the discard delay to more like an hour than just a few minutes) this module works just great. Using it I managed to tame Firefox' memory consumption enough to make it a stable browser again.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Chris Skipio, 5 years agoThis is great so far! I wish I could visit a tab without it "un-discarding" itself though. I can do this with a Chrome extension and it's nice when you're trying to find a tab. This extension makes me need to "re-discard" for each wrong tab I searched in.
- Rated 5 out of 5by kjbaumga, 5 years agoI categorize this add-on as *essential*, at least for people who use more than a handful of tabs, and/or who don't like wasted RAM. **Ever since installing this, it's as though I installed another 2 GB of RAM. ** It should be built in to Firefox. I wrote angry letters to Firefox about their reckless waste of RAM, and even suggested they free up memory exactly as this add-on does. Firefox is nasty -- it will keep on using RAM till there's 98% memory in use and the whole machine grinds to a halt. I was on the verge of abandoning Firefox over this. No installation of FF is complete without this functionality.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13510507, 6 years agoThis add-on makes my 7-year-old laptop not hang anymore. Now I can wait for the Ryzen 3000 price drop after the initial launch. Thanks bro
