Good if you can expose public API for add ons or add this functionality
in the main browser:
way to make a particular tab offline in firefox for desktop. that
page would stop loading or if loaded no more meta refreshes/ ajax calls.
maybe switch off all the timers so meta refresh and ajax are switched
off (and stop all requests that are in progress for that page - AJAX or
downloading/ any connection of the main site or include) . maybe
downloading a file should be a special exception. but a way to stop
downloading elements of the page like images, scripts, css, media
Also all tabs except current, all tabs to the right of current.
Why : CPU, net bandwidth saved for other things.

Apparently Fennec can do this, so it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.
