Summary
Firefox 4 has the hidden ability to load tabs on-demand by setting the maximum number of concurrent tabs being restored to “0” — now that the feature has been in the wild for a while, we'd like to expose it as the default behavior for session restore. It makes startup a lot faster, and uses a lot less memory.
