Great idea, but didn't work for what I wanted it to do (Stop nazibook from refreshing when I didn't tell it to) and the settings menu wasn't exactly clear

EDIT: Two days later, no answer to a simple question, and this extention not working may be interferring with other extentions. "Where is the 'tab action button'?"

Original:
So, I don't really think it's one star, but I'm out of ways to get an answer. I don't see anyother way to contact the dev besides logging into their GitHub page, where the same question was asked by another user last year, with no reply.

In the support documention, it says that you can mouse over the "tab action button" to find out why a tab isn't being discarded. Where is this button? What does it look like?

Please answer; the extention used to work well for me, and now it isn't working and I can't even troubleshoot why.

1 Star. Breaks random websites for no apparent reason, i.e. they don't work anymore at all

It doesn't work anymore.

This extension doesn't work, the unload tabs still occupy the same memory space.

This review is for all the users who are installing this and maybe to dev of this addon who doesnt consider firefox users or firefox browser anything anymore.

Auto Tab Discard here was updated on "Dec 17, 2022" (one can check it updates by themselves) but on chrome, (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-tab-discard-suspend/jhnleheckmknfcgijgkadoemagpecfol) and on edge (https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/auto-tab-discard-suspend/nfkkljlcjnkngcmdpcammanncbhkndfe), it was recently updated on "February 17, 2024".

The most unfortunate is that there is not a single addon that allows us to suspend or discard open tabs for firefox. Even firefox team hasnt brought in the feature of memory saver like chrome did with 120 and MS edge did with 111 versions. So, if you use this addon or not on chrome or chromium browsers, it doesnt matter since chrome inbuilt settings at "chrome://settings/performance", can manage your open tabs. But for firefox users, you are third class citizens.

This addon, in terms of usage in its current format, doesnt work, because browser usage stats via task manager and CPU noise, is as same as without this addon. Also, if you restart or open your firefox browser after some time or any time, it reloads all tabs. In chrome, with same process, it keeps those pre-suspended tabs, suspended whatsoever, until, I dont click it to activate or unsuspend.

I hope users using firefox or firefox forks like librewolf, waterfox, floorp browser or iceraven browser, will look into this and request dev to update this addon and actually make it usable with firefox 124 and forks in 2024.

In short, dev prioritizes chrome addon over firefox addon and updates chrome version only and firefox addon lacks feature and doesnt help or is unusable.

Don't work

The addon no longer works properly, it no longer disables tabs.

Tabs with videos being played through the pop-up window get discarded and this even after I have white-listed the domain!

Broken, whenever a tab is discarded and i click on it it goes back to the "new tab" page as if i just opened a fresh tab, also cant go back to the tab were i was with the "Go back one page" feature (the arrow)

Not working at all since Version 0.6.2. Have to revert to 5.0 to fix as other review mentioned. Once this issue is fixed on current version rating will improve.

The exceptions don't work, keeps closing my youtube tabs.

而且無法正常移動好像跛腳了

Some tabs do not get recovered bot vanish when I click on them which is an absolute no go! Also I personally do not like the emojii or custom title prefix to mark sleeping tabs, the greyed out title was easier to recognize.

Не работает.
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Mozilla Firefox 86.0 64-bit for ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

Doesn't work, even if trying to discard manually.

Used to work fairly good, but since the last update, tabs don't discard and I haven't changed my settings any from previous versions I used. Had to uninstall. Disappointed.

Switched to a new tab to look something up while working on a new post to reddit. Previous reddit tab was discarded by Auto Tab Discard and upon return the title remained, but the text box was cleared. Absolutely unacceptable loss of time and effort that makes me question how safe this extension is to use anymore.
