LoadTabOnSelect by Aaron Horler

Load newly-opened background tabs on selection, rather than automatically in the background. This addon uses the WebExtensions API, and therefore fully supports Firefox 57+.

Extension Metadata

About this extension
This addon will prevent new tabs from automatically loading, instead loading them on selection.

The intended usage of the addon is to facilitate power-users who open many tabs before viewing, but dislike auto-playing videos (and other annoyances).
