First, thank you Firefox developers for the awesome vertical tabs feature. I think it works pretty well, but I do think some improvements could make the experience a little more polished.

1. When I restart Firefox it keeps the same session/tabs (I have the option enabled in the settings), and they load in a disabled/unloaded state until I click on them. This is nice, however, there's no visual indication of this. It would be nice to have those tabs slightly grayed out or less saturated so the user can tell a given tab is loaded or unloaded. It would also be nice if you could manually unload tabs via right click.

2. Another QoL feature is being able to copy the urls of selected tabs instead of having to do it individually. Just like how you can bulk bookmark selected tabs.

Hello

https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/putting-a-single-tab-into-sleep-mode-manually-to-save-cpu-amp/i...

About unload tabs via right click
Unloading of tabs since the release of Firefox 134
1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term browser.tabs.unloadTabInContextMenu
To change a boolean (true-false) preference's value, double-click on the preference.
Try true
A new option is available in the context menu of the tabs to unload the respective tab and thus free up resources.

@Agentvirtuelthat's cool, thanks for sharing. It's still not very usable though due to the lack of visual feedback. Unloaded tabs look identical to loaded tabs.

Of course, it's not the answer expected, nevertheless.
