Add a memory usage indication to each tab like Chrome/Edge does when you hover over the tab. It would also be nice if a small picture of the website appeared. Indicating if the tab is asleep or not would be cool, too. That's my 2 cents. Thank you for reading.

Similar idea here: More tab detail (eg preview/URL) when hovering over a tab - which is currently in development 😃

As much as my associate team hates Chrome, Edge, and Safari, please provide the option. Did we not have this option back on Firefox 3.6.9?

I agree with the memory usage...

I have to disagree with the site image though.. following a restart it forces a reload of the page on hover.  That causes memory usage and on many sites that redirect to the home page on login - it forces login and loss of the page.  I find this a major nuisance on chrome..

I like the idea but I'd prefer to see a bar on each tab - e.g. to the left of the icon.  I don't want to have to hover over each of lots of tabs to search for the one which is using lots of resources.
Even better if there was a 2nd bar for cumulative CPU.

… for an overview of tab memory usage, open the task manager from the "more tools" menu, by pressing CTRL+ESC or going to about:processes. You can then click on memory in the header bar to sort by mem usage.

That for Tab Preview we need ram usage down below like Chrome

Like we need more detail on the preview thing.

Like espeically we need a ram usage under the image preview like Chrome

That also by adding a show ram below the image it make the image a lot more comfit able to read even as there would be some gap between the ram and the image.

@YingDoge if I'm understanding correctly, there's a similar idea already here on Connect: Add memory usage to tabs 

If that aligns with your request, we can merge the two threads together to keep the conversation focused in one space. Just let me know 😃
