Part of my structure and workflow with browsers – Firefox in this case – and one of the innovations I use to structure my browser is Pinned Tabs. Depending on the browser – different machines have different contexts and so different sets of Pinned Tabs in their browsers – I could have between 6 and 12 tabs pinned in the tab bar.
It took quite a while for me to realize it, but slowly my browser startup and performance was becoming very poor. Especially for those occasional links clicked when Firefox is not already open. Today it occurred to me that I’m well aware that Normal Tabs load their content on-demand when first switched to, and not immediately on browser startup. But is this the same for Pinned Tabs?
A quick test showed that Pinned Tabs load all their content immediately when the browser is started. I had my most resource-heavy web apps in those pinned tabs (Webmail, Slack, Trello, Feedly, and more) and they were inflating the startup memory overhead of Firefox by hundreds of megabytes.
Fortunately, as with most things Firefox, in about:config
it’s a quick change to browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
to prevent those heavy pages from loading immediately on browser start and rather have them load more comfortably when I actually need them.

Fall Out Boy – Young And Menace
Fall Out Boy have charged all up into Pop Music’s current quirks, tricks and trends, and are taking it to a new extreme with their banging new release “Young And Menace”.
Or, as Pete Wentz comments:
The gentle pull of a tide that rolls over and over again and by the sheer nature of its essence it becomes an indestructible will- ripping out sand- eroding what was before it- without a care… a transformational monster-becoming the madness and frenzy of a truly bulletproof wave. I’m not just here for your love, I’m here for all of the love. An overdose of dopamine- we are living inside of MANIA right now. the never sleeping, never blinking- caught forever in the sunshine riptide. -pw
Welcome to M A N I A – a Fall Out Boy LP. Here’s act #1 “Young and Menace”
And as you’ll hear when you hit play below, this is not your dad’s rock band. I recommend listening with headphones or on good equipment.
