keyboard - Firefox tabs - disable auto reload page on focus tab -


i prefere keyboard surfing in firefox 20.0 , use shift + page (shift + page down) switch between tabs. in preferences have "when firefox start: open tabs last session".

example: start browser, automatically restore tabs 1, 2, 3,..., 20. last session. it's ok. doesn't automatically refresh tabs content - it's ok, because have setted "don't restore tab until selected".

but: if try move tab 1 tab 10, have go on tabs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - , here problem, because starts refresh tab 2 - 9 content , don't need now, takes long time, if have more tabs open.

i tried set in about:config

accessibility.blockautorefresh = true,  

but doesn't work.

generally: need disable auto refreshing web pages (tab content), load tab , if decide load content, i'll press f5, ctrl + f5, or that.

do have idea, how fix that? sorry english.

thanks help.

i'm going downvoted, answer question is

use mouse.

seriously. you're using keyboard alternate mouse-driven graphical program. keyboard alternate has limitations. 1 of them can move tab 1 next it. if want skip on bunch of tabs, use graphical input device designed purpose.
