If I re-open the browser, the tabs are loading (like this 👇) forever until I choose to visit them. What is this? Feature or bug?

Problem with all firefox on desktop. Checked on various OS like windows, linux and chromebook. Also, using multiple versions of firefox so issue is universal.

You can stop pinned tabs from loading before they are activated by changing browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand to true in about:config.

Looks like this is okay but shouldnt this be the norm? In chrome and edge, we have option to delay and slow loading of pinned and opened tabs (if we havent made option to clear all on exit)?

Update: I tested browser after activating the flag and found device to be making sounds after opening browser.
