I just upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 on a Macbook Pro. When I switch to a different tab, the new selected tab reloads even though it was previously loaded. How can I disable this?

This can happen if you reopen a tab automatically and haven't visited the tab.

  • Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: When Firefox Starts:
    • Show my windows and tabs from last time
    • Don’t load tabs until selected
