Unload Tab function not appearing in dropdwon menu

Firefox Tabs

My Firefox browser just updated to version 143.0.1. When the browser reopened, there was an instructional page that opened in a new tab describing the Unload Tab function. I followed the instructions, right-clicked on the tab, the drop down menu appeared, but there wasn't an Unload Tab option. However, there was a Reload Tab option shown.

How do I resolve this? I'm using a macOS 15.6.1.

Hi

My understanding is that this is an automatic process that happens in the background. You can read more about this at:

I have the same problem with version 144 on a PC desktop. I checked the settings in config, but it did not help.
