Andras Simon:
I believe that this is the default behaviour of Firefox. I mean the
"not actually loading until you switch to it" part. The restore part
is not the default, just an option. But neither needs an extension.
I might give the manager thing a try and see what it offers me.
I've noticed the same thing, that when you fire-up Firefox, only the
currently selected tab actually loads. Mine is set up to remember and
restore the previous session. I do shut down the browser, and log off
the computer.
Perhaps other people are leaving their browser running 24/7? I'm not
sure what Firefox does with pages on unselected tabs when the browser
is always running. I suspect *anything* running on those tabs will
keep on running, because I know I can switch away from tabs playing
YouTube videos and the sound keeps going. I'm not at all surprised
that something bad might romp through all the RAM.
