Automatically close tab after X hours unless it is pinned.

X could be a setting:

• 6 hours
• 12 hours (default)
• 24 hours
• week

Auto Close Tabs – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Here are the example settings to close all non container tabs with real URLs after they have not been accessed  for 6 hours.

Notes:

1. Dont forget the "," after the number in (1)  
2. Make sure (1) and (2) have the same line offset in each textarea
3. Dont forget to click the toolbar button after saving the closing rules
4. Pinned tabs are excluded by default 

Hope it helps.

1. If there are several extensions which provide this, it means that this is useful to users

2. Extensions are 3rd party software written by people who in most cases leave them to die or unmaintained.

3. That's a simple feature, which should be in the browser. Some other browser do have this: Arc, Safari.
