User Reviews

This rating is for the description. I haven't tried the addon - I don't know what it does. Doesn't Firefox only load pinned tabs plus currently selected tab at startup? So what tabs does this addon unload? Pinned tabs? Does it unload pinned tabs in all windows or only the selected window (which is what I want)? Thanks

Is Startup Tab Unloader Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Startup Tab Unloader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
