"Where you were", except for waiting for every page to reload.

It only loads the page when you switch to it.

You know that this makes it only worse unless you go through all tabs manually after starting to make sure they are actually loaded when you need them?

Having to wait half a minute on every tab switch to wait for that gigantic mess of enterprise grade websites served from an ancient box on the other side of the solar system to load is not conductive towards concentrated work.

> except for waiting for every page to reload.

When I lose firefox (usually when power outage) I just cycle through all the tabs with ctrl+tab, by the time I get back to the first one it has reloaded (and the others do so in the background). It's not a big deal.

Right click on a single tab > Select all tabs > Reload tabs.

Thanks for the advice - hopefully it helps others. For me, it happens infrequently enough that I am unlikely to remember anything specific for the situation. I never select multiple tabs otherwise.

are you on dial-up?

Jira takes 10s for certain pages to load for me on a gigabit connection with an M1 Mac. I doubt a dial-up connection could even load a Jira backlog page in under an hour.

Same, but I'm not sure if that's because there's too much data or just because Jira is slower than a dead snail.

Funny you mention Jira, so you're saying there is no information after a day that requires you to reload?

Jira updates without needing to refresh.

I have a 10gb connection and I still see that. Browsers, despite being excellently threaded, are also poorly threaded. Who knew?

Modern websites are simply enormous and slow.
