What do you mean with TASK MANAGER ONBOARD ? Is this about the Firefox Task Manager (about:processes) ? Can you give more detail about what you are doing to get those tabs closed?

i don't speak very well English,can i speak in romanian? Good morning/afternoon/evening! With who i have the pleasure? You know Google Chrome,no? Or maybe Opera Browser,Edge etc. Onboard i mean like it is now. some years ago i don't think it has option to see the tasks. Anyway ths is not the topic. i mean i want the tabs to not be closed,only suspended like on others browsers,expecially Google Chrome. Can Mozilla implement this or not? And another question Why on Mozilla can't be used the extensions from Google. why don't exist a extension for close duplicate tabs? in others words i like how it it now,please don't change nothing,only add options to suspend tabs,not close tabs,when end a process in task manager in Mozilla Firefox and a option to close duplicate tabs. Now you understand me? You're using or testing Google Chrome to see it's features/options? There is a competition between Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome that you can't use nothing that have Google Chrome?Why Opera Browser/Microsoft Edge Browser and other Browsers use Google Chrome engines and Mozilla Firefox can't?

1. Yes, we're planning to add closing duplicate tabs in Firefox. 2. We really don't want to mimic g chrome nor use its engine. It's important for the web to have at least two distinct browser engines.

Visit about:processes in the address bar (Shift+Esc) and close a site process to unload all tabs associated with the process.

You can close duplicate tabs with an extension like FoxyTab.

Good morning/afternoon/evening! You didn't understand nothing. i need not to close the tabs,only suspend. For example if i have 10 or more tabs. let's say one is my facebook page,other is youtube a tab that i dont want to close and other tabs.i want to suspend that tabs,not to be closed. Now you understand. i know about the combination "SHIFT+ESC" but when you click x on a proces is closed not suspended. Is so hard to understand?

Good morning/afternoon/evening! Cine vorbește de imitare?Este necesar sa avem posibilitatea de a păstra filele care vrem sa rămână deschise,dar nu le folosim mereu. Iti dau un exemplu. Tu fixezi o fila sa rămână permanent sau mai multe.Daca apesi la procese in task manager pe fila respectiva,se închide.,nu se suspendă. Asta mi se pare o mare prostie,atunci la ce mai servește"fixare filă"? La pagina procese ați putea adăuga suspendare/închidere ca opțiune și nu ați mai imita pe cei de la Google Chrome. Eu cred că ați avea mai mulți utilizatori,dacă veți mplementa așa ceva,care vor folosi Mozilla Firefox și poate vor contribui și cu donații. Mie îmi plac multe funcții de la Mozilla Firefox și nu aș vrea să renunț la el.

Closing a process will not close its tabs. Make sure you click the close button on the process line that has a URL in bold and process ID number. The hover tooltip description is "Unload tabs and kill process".

Try out this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-suspender/

Good morning/afternoon/evening! I tried the extension and is very comlicated to use. Is better to be implement in Task manager to select all process and click suspend like on Google Chrome. And of course to show on the page something like this to gain more resurses. Test features of Google Chrome to see how you can implement this and not imitate it.

Good morning/afternoon/evening Paul! If you are a moderator of Firefox,than you working at the Company that create Mozilla Firefox or you can easily contact they,not like me. No? Anyway I want to ask you something. If you know about developing. Can you please say to me where the cookies/cache of websites with P2P(PICTURE TO PICTURE) or how is called the player to view outside the page on PC/LAPTOP in WINDOWS 11? I want to see a video 📹,I mean the cache of a video from a TV stream that I couldn't see and my AMD Graphics Video card crushed. Do you understand what I'm asking? 🤔 Where are temporary stored/saved the cache of videos of the sites I see in private browser Mozilla Firefox? You know what I want to ask you? 🤔 În what folder/file are stored the temporary Internet files of a opened website private browser? Sorry my bad English. Do you know? Give me please the steps. I ask your help to all community.
