About this extension
Load Tabs On Select

Save memory and reduce CPU usage by automatically discarding newly opened background tabs.

When you open links in new tabs, this extension keeps them unloaded until you actually switch to them. The page content is loaded only when you select the tab, helping Firefox stay faster and use fewer system resources.

Features
Automatically discards newly opened background tabs
Loads pages only when you switch to the tab
Reduces unnecessary background loading
Helps save RAM and CPU usage
Works silently in the background

No tracking, no analytics, and no data collection. The extension only manages your browser tabs locally.
