Forgets URLs #69

I have Suspend Tab set so that it will not load tabs until I click on them but pulls the cache. Unfortunately, Suspend Tab often forgets that URL when I switch to it. Sometimes, it briefly shows the URL (too quickly to grab) before it forgets it and just shows a new blank tab. There's no history within the tab to go back to it.

At first, this wasn't common, but the more I use the add-on, the more I'm seeing it happening maybe 40% of the time.

That happened to me with Load Tabs on Select addon, on restart/restore, reason why I stopped using it. So if you say the same happens with this addon, then that means they both must be using the same calls, for the same result. And so this addon is even worse, because for me it doesn't even do that; it doesn't suspend any tab whatsoever. To make it worse, given how old this version is and how unresponsive the author seems to be, I doubt there will be any fix soon, if at all.

I'm using ff nightly 53 x64 on win8.1, btw.
