So, I'm now using the App Tabs on Firefox 16.0.2 and i think is really usefull to have all my favorites as tabs pined. But somehow the option "Not load until selected" which is available in the menu Options dosnt work for it.

How can i configure the app tabs to load themselves just when its selected? Its a shame if that cannot be conf. coz ... hm.... what's the purpose on pining just 2 or 3 tabs? if i load more than that, aka, all my favorite pages at the same time, the browser sucks almost 500 MB of RAM, thats more than many heavy games I play, thats old Firefox issues of heavy consumption of RAM :S

But I have to assume: the browser is pretty better. we are talking about around 20 pages loaded at the same time, and just 500MB?? well thats really impressive. However, i just want them to load when i need them

There is a separate pref for pinned tabs:

  • browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand

complete solution

in the address bar (where a Internet address like "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/home" is shown) type: "about:config" (without the "") then press Enter

there will be a warning which you should accept

then you will see a large listing of preferences sorted alphabetically

in "browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand" click over 2 times until it turns "true"

the next time you start Firefox, the Pinned Tabs will not be loaded automatically being shown only icons of the webpages
