Firefox tab unloading

[B Reiss]

For anyone interested.

Poked around a bit, recent versions of Firefox, by default, now unload tabs that you haven't used in awhile.

It can be disabled, although it takes a plugin to have more fine tuned control

The about:unloads shows the tabs that haven't been unloaded, but not the ones that you have "open", but that have been unloaded in the background.

Cool. Thanks, Bruce.
