It's already an option in the Firefox options/preferences UI.
In the "General" preferences in Firefox 13, if you have "Show my tabs from last time" selected, there's a checkbox for "Don't load tabs until selected".
In Firefox 15 and later, the checkbox is in the "Tabs" pane so it's always accessible: http://zpao.com/posts/making-restore-on-demand-accessible/ http://zpao.com/posts/making-restore-on-demand-accessible/
- phaylon 14y agoI know, which is why FF is my main browser. I'm just arguing the importance of the option for my personal usage patterns.
- illumen 14y agoIt's great the option is there, and thanks SO much for pointing it out. Now for me as one of the 5-8 tab people, restoring tabs will be a good experience. You get 39 hero points, and 72.55 gold stars. However, I'm of the opinion that options are bad UX too (until you find them :). It's better when the experience is just good. I know that's asking a lot... but I think it's possible with some combination of the ideas mentioned in this discussion to automatically do the right thing for most users.
