## Description

**Tab Suspender Mini** enhances your Firefox browsing experience by automatically suspending inactive tabs, freeing up memory and reducing CPU usage. Designed as a lightweight extension, it replaces inactive tabs with a custom suspension page storing the original URL and title, ensuring efficient resource management.

Key features include automatic suspension with customizable timers, immediate suspension of current or other tabs, and toggle options such as lightweight mode and screenshot capturing. The extension also offers domain exception handling to prevent suspension of important sites, with easy management via the popup interface. Additionally, it protects tabs playing audio from suspension and safely ignores internal browser URLs to guarantee smooth operation. Source code is available on GitHub for transparency and customization.
