I don’t like it when I go back to a tab and it reloads.
For whatever reason, I want tabs to stop changing. I don’t want the to reload from their javascript and I don’t want the tab content to be deleted by the automatic discard (to save memory)
If firefox decides to free memory, it should dump tab data and tab state to disk, not delete and reload from the website later.
Sometimes the website won’t exist later.
Somewhat related but this one is hard : Some website dynamically delete content after you’ve scroll past it (firefox) this means even if you scroll to the “true” bottom, you can’t ctrl+f search and you can’t freeze the page and read it all at your leisure and preserve it for later.
Currently my solution is to video screen capture the whole tab while scrolling slowly, this is quite a ridiculous step to take but apparently the only option to keep our data !?
Press F12 - choose the console tab, type “debugger” and hit enter. If that doesn’t stop everything, a “console.break()” may also be needed.

Looks great but I wish for more. Per site pause points and skip point. Short circuiting certain functions, per site.
If you don’t mind learning a lot of JavaScript, a Script monkey style Solution can do this for you.
Narrator: They did not wish to learn JavaScript and were looking for an easy answer even if it didn’t exist.
