Basically, this tool is the Firefox version of Chrome's Great Suspender extension. In case you prefer a hands-on approach, Unload Tab is a handy add-on which allows you to manually unload any tab you want and keep it suspended until you are ready to use it. Additionally, this extension will automatically close blank tabs that you didn't mean to open, provide an undo button for when you accidentally close tabs, as well as allow you to select multiple tabs at once, etc. Although not specifically designed to help improve overall performance, this tool is capable of automatically unloading tabs you haven't clicked on in a while, thus stopping them from taking up memory space. Tab Utilities is an interesting add-on which offers some really cool extra functionality.

However, keep in mind that any running add-on will add to your browser's resource consumption, so don't install it unless you actually need it. As I'm sure you guessed from its name, this add-on will check if you've opened the same web page in multiple tabs and, in case you did, automatically close the duplicate one. In case if you're like me and open a million different tabs so that you don't forget where you found a specific bit of information, Duplicate Tab Closer might prove to be useful. (On a 32-bit system, the latest version works fine.) But be warned: if you have a 64-bit operating system, you need to use version 1.3.2.0 instead of the latest one. In my experience, the extension has a visible positive impact on your overall performance, as when I first launched it, Firefox's memory usage dropped by almost 50%. This tool will attempt to reduce both the browser's and the Flash RAM usage. Memory Fox is one of the best Firefox add-ons you can find.
