If you experience a compat issue, please refresh the page and let us know through Microsoft Edge by pressing Shift+Alt+I on a Windows device or going to Settings and more … > Help and feedback > Send feedback. We are eager to get your feedback on sleeping tabs. We have built heuristics to detect these scenarios and prevent those tabs from sleeping to keep you in your flow. With this technology, it is possible that some sites may not work as expected after they go to sleep. Gif of several tabs open, with one fading to sleep, and 7 other tabs also fading You can also add sites you never want to sleep to a block list in Settings. The tab will un-fade and your content will be there immediately. To resume a sleeping tab, click on it like a normal tab. Tabs that are asleep will fade to let you know they’ve released resources. If two hours isn’t right for you, you can choose a different time interval in edge://settings/system. These resources include both memory and CPU and can be used for new or existing tabs or other applications running on your device.īy default, we’ve set tabs to go to sleep after two hours of inactivity. This feature allows inactive background tabs to “go to sleep,” releasing system resources after a set amount of time. We built upon the freezing technology to create sleeping tabs. A sleeping tab resumes automatically when clicked, which is different than discarded tabs, which require the page to fully be reloaded. Freezing pauses a tab’s script timers to minimize resource usage. Sleeping tabs builds upon the core of Chromium’s “freezing” technology. Ideally, some pages such as the GMail web interface and currently playing YouTube videos (they can be recognised by the initial "▶") should never be auto-closed.Median memory usage of Microsoft Edge based on performance data aggregated across ~13000 devicesĪverage CPU usage of Microsoft Edge based on performance data aggregated across ~13000 devices so that tabs that have not been opened for several days be automatically bookmarked and closed (going into the filesystem where it won't take precious resources). My question: is there a way to extend or modify Firefox in a way to let her follow this usage pattern without memory usage exploding? I imagine merging the concepts of tabs and bookmarks, e.g. I added memory to her laptop (now 2G in total - it's an old model, that's the highest capacity I could find that was compatible) but it just means she is now able to open more tabs before things start breaking. At that point we need to either close firefox entirely (which may take up to ten minutes and may lose unsaved data) or reboot (same).
Later as memory usage becomes too high it is no longer possible to hibernate, and we eventually reach a state where the whole computer becomes unusable (for instance bringing Thunderbird to front and clicking on a mail will take several minutes during which the whole computer is unresponsive). However she never closes tabs, effectively using them instead of bookmarks, which causes memory usage to keep growing, then swap use to keep increasing as tab count goes into the hundreds.
When using Firefox on her computer, my wife opens a new tab when starting a new search, and opens links in a new tab when she may want to use the linking page later.
