How to only load tabs once I click on them?

more options

When I am on youtube, I like to watch many videos, so I right-click a video link and click "Open in new tab". On chrome, the video in the new tab would only load/play once I click on that tab, but not in Firefox. In Firefox, the tab/video would load/play immediately and doesn't wait for me to click the tab. Can someone help me solve this problem???

Firefox used to have the option to stop background pages from loading until you select it, but that feature was recently removed to prevent some performance issues that it caused.

If you would like to get this ability back, you can install the Load Tab on select add-on.

I hope that this is what you are looking for. Please let us know.
