Save Ram memory and battery with Sleep Mode for tabs

Sleep Mode will temporarily put all tabs to sleep mode for saving RAM memory, saving BATTERY and make your computer/laptop FASTER.

But it still keep current working tab in normal mode. You still able to continue to work on this tab.

When you switch to other tab, this tab will be woke up to normal mode and previous tab will immediately set to sleep mode. Does not interrupt your work.


Review :
You can install Sleep Mode like any other Firefox extension. Once installed the Sleep Mode icon will appear on the Firefox toolbar. The Sleep Mode can be activated with a simple click on the icon. After activation, the extension springs into action and will hibernate all the inactive tabs. While testing out the extension, I found the RAM usage to be reduced significantly.
