    A Mozilla rep confirms to PCMag that having tons of Firefox tabs open consumes “practically no memory whatsoever.”

    Is there an extension to change this? I literally want to keep all of my tabs in memory no matter what. It drives me nuts when I change tabs and it reloads the page, or the bank website will only load slowly while I’m looking at its tab.

      I’m not sure if it fixes your problem, but it fixed mine.

      Pin the tab.

      In my case, Whatsapp web didn’t get loaded when I opened firefox, so notifications didn’t reach me unless I opened the tab at least once.

      If the tab is pinned, however, it will load when you open firefox, I’m unsure if the tab stays loaded.
