Option to receive ‘Send Tab to Device’ tabs without loading them

[Roey]

Add an option for Firefox's “Send Tab to Device” feature to create received tabs in an unloaded/discarded state. The URL and tab title could appear in the tab bar, but Firefox would not fetch or execute the page until the user selects the tab. This would be especially useful when sending multiple tabs from a mobile device to a desktop. Currently, receiving several resource-intensive pages at once can cause Firefox to load them concurrently, producing substantial CPU and memory usage. Possible options could include: - Load received tabs immediately (current behavior) - Load received tabs when selected This would also make Send Tab to Device useful as a lightweight way of transferring a queue of pages to another device without immediately opening and executing every page.
