Unfortunately, it does not work with FF 80.0 here.
Too bad, because I could really use it. But it simply does nothing.
When restarting firefox and clicking on the withelisted tab it still shows the old version of the page. I still have to refresh the page to get the current version of it.

Sadly the known Unload/ Discard extensions doesn't offer an option to "bypass the cache on restore", like the old "Auto Unload Tab" extension (pre-Quantum). I contacted the developers about this, but no one seemed really interested or answered at all. So I'm really glad, that I found this extension here. It works perfectly and without any problems. Thank you for your work.
PS: I use it with the extension "Tab Unloader".

Is Update Discarded Tab On Select 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.
Update Discarded Tab On Select requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
