Simple Discard Tab

While I like the app, I find it very annoying that it basically wipes clean any input you make on forms or submissions if you jump between tabs. Say you're filling in a long form an you are asked to add information you don't know by heart and you switch tabs to search for it - all input you've added up to that point gets wiped clean and you have to start all over again. It should allow you to set your own timeframe to when it clears memory.

Perfect - just what I wanted: Automatically discard open tabs after some (adjustable) amount of time. Background: I'm a "use multiple instances of Firefox distributed over my many virtual desktops, each one with quite a few tabs, e.g. 10 to 20". Without this tool I get memory readings easily well above 10's of GB - which is kind of "problematic" :-) Clicking on a discarded tab later on, more or less, instantly recovers it (as long as the date inside Firefox's cache was still valid - as far as I understand it) - which is perfectly fine! I prefer waiting "a second" compared to - Firefox is eating up my RAM. What I wonder most is, why Firefox itself hasn't inbuilt this feature now (mid of 2025)... PS: Ever wondered what Firefox is doing right now / which tab uses what amount of memory? Check out Firefox's "about:performance" and "about:unloads" pages. The first one shows you how much memory/cpu your tabs (and a few other things) are currently using. And about:unloads gives you a list of all active tabs (so already discarded ones don't show up there) - and especially: When did you last view them and how much RAM do they use. about:performance updates automatically, about:unload, you have to reload it manually to get an updated view... PPS. If you are going to check if the add-on works correctly, give it enough time. E.g. if you have the initial discard timer set to 3 minutes and the last accessed time would be 9:00:03, then the tab will not be discarded at 9:03:03. The add-on runs only every full minute (as I've understood it), so at 9:04:00 the Add-on checks, that the page hasn't be used for more than 3 minutes and discards it...
