An essential add-on for power users that have many tabs open. Curb your resource usage by unloading tabs that you haven't visited for a while. An unloaded tab is restored back to its original state when you need it again.

Features include:
* Automatic and manual unloading of tabs.
* Control over tab loading at Firefox start-up.
* Optional exclusion of tabs from unloading.

Warning: experimental; for testing purposes only. This add-on is provided as-is, intended for use with a vanilla installation of Firefox.
Warning: not compatible with all add-ons due to the abstract nature of tab unloading. More Info »
