- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15293376, 4 years agoThis add-on really deserves 5 stars, but there are two crucial (but luckily derivative) functions missing:
• unload all / unload other (i.e. the whole window is suspended except the current tab)
• unload all except current tree (i.e. inverse of the current "Suspend Tree" function: current tab and its eventual descendants would be excluded from the unload).
In essence, these two options are just the inverse of the currently available "Suspend tab" and "Suspend Tree", and are really needed, especially if working with plenty of tabs in plenty of windows. After all, we're TST users — isn't that its main use case scenario? ☺
Bonus: An icon for the context menu would be nice and faster — visual seeking vs text reading.
(For similar functionality, see "Unload Tabs" by NiklasG. That add-on still works, but has not been updated for ~2 years. Recent TST update rendered its tab dimming inoperable, which is how I ended on this add-on. I'd rather use this one, since it is still relatively actively maintained + TST specialized.)
Also, dimming didn't work until I copied CSS from this add-on to CSS definition field within TST, but that might be an issue with my very old Firefox install (71.0).
In any case, thank you for your efforts! If the new version gets them, I'm upping it to 5 stars. - Rated 4 out of 5by grahamperrin, 4 years agoIt took a while for me to uderstand this extension, now I love it.
Double-click works as expected, but I have not discovered how to make long-press effective.
Postscript: I can not make long-press effective even when double-click is not. Maybe I misunderstand; or maybe a conflict with another extension.Developer response
posted 4 years agoGlad you like it!
Note that the extension will only preform the operation that is specified by a section's title if ALL conditions inside that section are fulfilled. So you can't unload a tab both when double left clicking and when long pressing with the left mouse button (using different mouse buttons could work since they have different sections). This is an unfortunate limitation of the current UI design that I haven't bothered to fix since really using only one method should be enough.
