Not working on firefox 26 #10

I've tested it in firefox 26 and it's not working at all either by time or manually it doesn't unload any tab.

I can confirm that. A quick hotfix is to edit suspendtab.js (line 699) in the addon's xpi file from "if(internalSS._collectTabData) {..." to "if(false && internalSS._collectTabData) {...". However, based on a comment in the source code this disables: "...we should use full tab state including sensitive data. Store it to the volatile storage instaed of the session data, for privacy"; so it is not an ideal solution, but tab unloading works again with FF26 after that change.

baa3e5ec3c0984d590ce3709f43fc437252fd593 should fix this. You can try the development version: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/xpi/nightly/

I can confirm that Suspend Tab (v18112013) works correctly now and keeps the favicons for suspended tabs (tested in FF26). Thanks! :)
