[Enhancement] Firefox Discard moz-extension:// Tabs and anything else that is possible #296

Open megamorphg opened 2 years ago

megamorphg commented 2 years ago

Currently, for Firefox the extension doesn't auto discard pages belonging to extensions that begin with "moz-extension://"

However, this should be possible because other extensions are able to do this: for example Sidebery is able to "Suspend"/Discard such tabs. Is it because that the page is created by this extension itself? I'm not sure.

It is not able to Discard "about:" tabs. Those thankfully are loaded as discarded when Firefox starts. I wonder if those are also able to be discarded?

So the feature request here is to include discard moz-extension:// and any other tabs that are possible.
