- Rated 4 out of 5by Dennis, 5 years agoThis extension is awesome and really helps manage resource usage by tons of open tabs. However, it is missing one feature that looks like a lot of other people would like to see as well, and that is an option to prevent auto-reloading of discarded tabs when you click on them.
With The Great Suspender on Chrome, I frequently cycle through my discarded tabs to see which one I want to reload, then simply click on the page to reload it. That extension also provides the ability to show screenshots of the content in the discarded tab to help make identification of discarded tabs easier. Using that same routine with this extension will reload all your discarded tabs, which of course eliminates any benefit you get from using the tab in the first place.
Other than that missing feature this is a great auto-suspender extension! - Rated 4 out of 5by Max Yudin, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15129930, 6 years agoMy tabs are being randomly discard even after setting to zero second.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Chris Skipio, 6 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14984101, 6 years agoI have the same issue with my Bookmark Bar's FAV-Icons. Already three of them changed to the Auto Tab Discard Suspended status icons with the dot. How do I get the old FAV-Icons back and when will this issue going to be fixed? Until then I need to disable the Addon.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14664719, 6 years agoVery useful tool! Recommend to anyone that knows how to open links in new tabs.
Only 2 problems I have: no hotkeys to discard current tab / all other tabs, and doesn't save video progress on youtube. Would be great to have youtube tab reload with a timestamp. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12237351, 6 years agoOne of the best addons for suspending tabs but I'd like to add an option to not load tabs immediately after focusing it, like the way "great suspender" for chrome works.
Update: the addon doesn't work if firefox multi process is disabled. It'd be great if you find a workaround. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 9947128, 6 years agoHappy using this addon. It's great. It would be even better if it had the option to automatically discard newly opened tabs.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14441138, 6 years agoGood extension, but it would be perfect, if there was an option to only reload discarded tabs manually. I do not want tabs to auto-reload if I switch to the tab, because this happens very often accidentally or upon closing another tab.

- Rated 4 out of 5by yurin, 7 years agoWhen I discard all inactive tabs manually the extension free memory better than in automatic mode. Why? Can it be fixed?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14256516, 7 years agoCould use some hotkeys and an option to only unsuspend on click. Other than that though, it works pretty well. Less memory usage, slowdown, etc. Good work, keep it up!

- Rated 4 out of 5by andario2007, 7 years agoPretty good.
Maybe not as sofisticated as similar addons I´ve used in the past, but it does well the main task.
My main issue with it is that as soon as it suspends a tab that I have bookmarked, the bookmark itself becomes grayed out, for whatever reason, so sure but slowly many of my bookmarks a looking "weird". Not that big an issue, though.
Thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13614045, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Felininho, 7 years agoWork as intended, with great options for customization. I wish, though, it was more visually clear that a tab was discarded (I find the grayed icon hard to read). Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bayazid B. Halim, 7 years agoThis is nice, and works very well. I'd like for an option to temporarily disable auto discarding, though, since there are a lot of times when I work with a lot of tabs and I'd like to have all of them available. Thanks.
