You can unload tabs you are not actively using to help reduce memory and CPU usage, while keeping your tabs available to revisit later. When you unload a tab, it remains visible but doesn’t use resources in the background. When you're ready to return to it, Firefox will reload the page automatically.
Starting in Firefox version 140, you can unload tabs directly from the tab context (right-click) menu.
- For earlier Firefox versions and more information, see Unload inactive tabs to save system memory in Firefox.
