Thank god for tab previews.

Now we just need a better system for tab unloading (that properly works with the tab preview) and that's the biggest features from Chrome I'd like to see in FireFox.

I just enabled the option to reopen tabs on close, usually open a new tab right before closing with the primary X button, then reopen Firefox so it unloads all tabs that don’t get loaded until I click on them individually. Works fine, isn’t a huge hassle. Good enough at least until it’s officially a feature.

I use tree style tabs and it also has an option to unload tabs. I might be wrong and there is a plugin for TST that adds this functionality though.

SideBery lets you unload whole groups of them!

(This tab grouping is not quite as good as what Chrome and derivatives have, but it's very close.)
