User reviews

An interesting idea that is similar to 'great suspender' for chrome, but it also had a bit more features like displaying the titles, session backups and so on. Anyway it's far better than most of alternatives for mozilla. You might as well add some shortcuts if possible.

This addon would be great if it had more options
