    Version 1.0.0

    Released 3 Jun 2026 - 26.7 kB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Initial release of FireEfficient.

    What's new:
    - Modern ECO/MAX interface for quickly seeing how the current tab is being treated.
    - User-managed MAX list for sites that should stay fully responsive and protected from automatic offload.
    - ECO intensity modes: Light, Balanced, and Strict.
    - Adaptive offload timing that can shorten the discard delay when many ECO tabs are loaded.
    - Unsaved form protection so tabs with typed drafts are skipped by automatic offload.
    - Popup counters for tabs currently offloaded, session offloads, and optional request blocks.
    - Optional Strict-mode request savings for beacons, pings, Firefox-classified trackers, embedded objects, third-party media, fonts, and WebSockets.

    What's changed:
    - Network request savings are off by default and use optional Firefox permissions, so uBlock Origin can remain your main request blocker unless you explicitly enable FireEfficient's request savings.
    - Settings are stored locally in Firefox and are never sent to a remote service.
    - The extension UI was redesigned to make the tradeoffs clearer and easier to adjust.
    - Security hardening includes a strict extension content security policy, validated background messages, no remote code, no dynamic script execution, and no web-accessible resources.

    Known limitation:
    - Firefox does not expose per-tab hardware acceleration controls to extensions. FireEfficient focuses on Firefox-supported efficiency tools such as tab discard controls, page motion/media quieting, and optional request savings.
