by Firefox user 13252902, 3 years agoMust install for mega taskers. Before quantum upgrade to FF there was lots of addons to manage memory and features. Then as firefox became like every chromium based browser and as bloated I didn't find anything until this.
Avg mem usage went from 75% of my 64gb of ram to 25% enough said.
Would like to see more functions with add-ons like tree style tabs in the future.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SleepyEvie, 15 hours agoits like marvellous suspender for chromium browsers but works better in every single way (for me). I had a lot of time consuming issues with various suspender versions after the official one died and swapped to firefox a few months ago, this one JUST WORKS! big fan.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19057546, 3 days agoI can now play while having 70+ tabs, very simple, nice, useful, thanks!!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by ckrysiak, 6 days agoworks fine for the most part, but as of a couple days ago youtube tabs won't automatically discard any more when first opened, which is what I mainly use this for. Other than that I've not had any other real problems with this.
Edit: I originally gave this a three star review for the above issue, but it turns out Auto Tab Discard is interacting with UBlock Origin in a weird way and it's only when UBlock is active that I have this problem. Not really much I can do about it, but also not really the fault of this addon, so I bumped the rating up. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16891909, 8 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by default-design, 20 days agoAz újabb Firefox nem kezeli jól a memóriát és elképesztően sokat zabál (belőle) így aki úgy használja amiben ez a böngésző eredetileg a legjobb volt, tehát sok ablak = lap = fül = tab akkor ez neki való mert az inaktívak nem használnak memóriát és így végre újra a régi az élmény.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Terrasse, a month agoVery good work! This extension effectively reduces the RAM usage. Among all these extensions with similar function, Auto Tab Discard works best and is the most configurable.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18862493, 2 months agoI'm a little bit of a tab hoarder... And that results in all of my 32GB of RAM filling up all the time. Then I need to close the browser and open it again, to free up my RAM. My next planned step before knowing about this extension was to buy more RAM.
But this extension fixes the problem. All tabs that are not used just get their resources freed after some time. How this is not a standard feature in Firefox baffles me... So it goes without saying; This is a great extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18576703, 2 months agoHeavily reduced the energy and performance being used by all the tabs I have open, highly recommended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SKM, 3 months agoI've found Auto Tab Discard very useful for many years. It keeps my browser running smooth, even when I've got upwards of 400 tabs open.
