Open tabs in Firefox with suspend mode

Sleep Mode is a new extension of the program Firefox, η οποία αδρανοποιεί όλες τις καρτέλες εκτός από την ενεργή καρτέλα. Με τον τρόπο αυτό, απελευθερώνει τη μνήμη, εξοικονομεί μπαταρία και μπορεί να επιταχύνει τις υπόλοιπες λειτουργίες.

Firefox users who like to open multiple tabs, have certainly noticed that memory usage is rising rapidly. Depending on the available resources of each computer, especially in the memory and battery, users can see from continuous crashes to slow down operations.

Third-party tools and the of the browser can help to , semi-automatically or manually edit Firefox's memory usage. But because of all these extensions, Firefox hasn't gone through a bold upgrade designed to improve memory usage.

The new Firefox 67 may automatically suspend tabs you do not see, as already done by Chrome since 2015.

The Sleep Mode is a simple extension which in some cases is particularly beneficial. The extension adds an icon to the main Firefox toolbar, which you can interact with during installation.

The icon works as an en buttonς. Ένα κλικ ξεκινά τη operation suspension. Any tab other than the active tab and tabs that are not fully loaded or not loaded at all will be put to sleep to free up memory and improve power consumption and system performance.

Sleep Mode removes the website from memory and adds the word “Sleep Mode” to the beginning of the website titles. This feature, and depending on how many tabs you have open, can hide the entire page title, making it difficult to identify each page.

With another click on the Sleep Mode icon, Firefox returns to normal mode. All unloaded sites are not reloaded. You may need to go to some tabs to complete the loading process.

So far, third-party extensions are the only way to reduce memory usage in Firefox. Although it looks like we are expecting big changes with the arrival of Firefox 67 on 14 May 2019 on the fixed channel, which is currently available at Firefox Nightly. We already know that we will see changes in terms of memory usage, such as memory unloading for tabs with audio playback, but also changes in security such as ban on extensions to private windows.
