Reload Discarded Tabs

This addon can be used after restoring a session from "Tab Session Manager". For each discarded tab, it reloads the tab one at a time then discards the tab when loading completes or a timeout occurs. The goal is to get around the Firefox limitation that favicons can not be set when creating a discarded tab. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1475240 - Allow setting favicon when creating discarded tabs)

Features

  • Clicking on the addon button starts the job, clicking it again stops it (v0.9.2)
  • Jobs will process discarded tabs, but ignore ones that already have the favico set (v0.9.2)
    • Useful if you need to rerun the job several times due to any issues
  • Added basic animation to addon button to show that a job is running (v0.9.2)
  • Added simple notification summary of jobs completed (v0.9.2)
  • Option to reload all discarded tabs or only in the current window (v0.9.1)
  • Option to show the options page in light or dark mode (v0.9.1)
