2020-09-05 Thomas 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.
2020-08-15 Haven667 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".
2019-08-15 sayaka Great. I was looking for this. It is fully operational in "Firefox 68.01". But it was hard to find. Especially at Google. It was not found with keywords such as "reload", "tab", "active", or "suspend". It's a shame it's buried in search. (I'm Japanese. Machine translation.)
2018-11-14 Juanka Hula I tested it on nutaku and it does not work. Useless in my experience.
2018-11-10 Salaam Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for the efforts :)
2018-11-09 Firefox user 13487987 Thank you for you add-on. Please, just one question: Is there any difference between your add-on and "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency" set to "1"? EDIT: Yeah, I confirm you, I did a test and you're right... the "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency" did not work for me at discarded tabs... weird! I did same test with your add-on + discarded tabs, and it refreshed cache... congrats!
