A few of us (@foobarry , @bigcalm ) have been tinkering with Firefox tab unloading.
Noteworthy settings:
browser.tabs.fadeOutUnloadedTabs will fade the tabs icons browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload sets the minimum time the tab will live before the unloader does it's thing. general consensus is that this is the number of milliseconds, with the default being 10 minutes (mine is much less than that now) browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory will account for low ram browser.tabs.unloadTabInContextMenu enables manual unloading of tabs via a context menu action
There's a page called about:unloads with useful metrics, which references this page of information https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/tabunloader/
Pinned tabs are deprioritized in the eyes of the unloader. Which is a setting I'd like to change.
Pictures attached for reference
I wish this sort of thing was more well-known.
