- Rated 1 out of 5by SedUz, a month agoThis extension is supposed to be easy to use, but its not. You have to gain additional higher education to be able to use it. Too complicated options - each has a half A4 page length description about what it does. When you go through all of them you already forgot about what were previous options doing because you read too much text and not sure which options safe to use because - too much complicated. I didn't even want to risk to enable it, because highly likely it would screw up everything.
Developer, how do you suppose people would use this extension? I'm glad you dived deep into how Firefox works, but extension is intended for regular users to hide this complexity and give comprehensive options which are short and intuitive, on a high-level. This should be user friendly with intuitive design and self-descriptive options. This maybe the best example of how NOT to make application user interface. - Rated 5 out of 5by Aditya, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by ak47wong, 2 years agoLOVE the super detailed documentation, thanks! So many extension devs don't provide clear instructions.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Luke, 2 years agoWonderful extension, but the recent update and permission change is confusing and will lead many users to think the extension is broken
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14140733, 2 years agoA must have for loading a bunch of tabs without DDoS attacking back end servers.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13011485, 4 years agoI've been using this extension as part of my core necessities in Firefox for a few years. And it has been Essential. I have a low bandwidth issues and today s high content media rich pages take a long time to load.
Having the ability to manually fill up my tab bar and let the extension put the brakes on them until a small sequence of them are finished before loading the next is vital to keeping a healthy bandwidht and server relation.
That being said, I want to ask if the creator has any interest in making this availble to the Chrome browser too? I really would like to see it there as well.Developer response

I had to open 200 Steam pages and there's no way I could've done it staying sane without this extension. thank you very much for having updated it to work with fx 56 and on.
only downside for me is the font. Can you use some non-serif font like Arial or Verdana? - Rated 5 out of 5by Mariachi, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ruane, 5 years agoPlease add a way to export&import settings, I lost mine on a power failure, I think it's a Firefox bug since I lost my settings in many extensions when it happened, fortunately I had a settings backup of all important extensions...

- Rated 3 out of 5by kenanunkesti, 6 years agoThe purpose of construction is a logical and useful tool. But the menu is messy, I never liked the font type. In the options section, it would be better to write a few sentences instead of a lot of explanations.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12531918, 6 years agoIs it possible to limit CPU usage of tabs loading in background? Ideally - to decrease their process priority.

posted 6 years agoThere should soon be an about:config setting named dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.enabled that will reduce priority of background processes. It's not quite ready yet. You can read about it here:
