Where to find the 'load when selected' option in Firefox 47 beta?
L.S.,
In Firefox 46 (and earlier) there was a 'load when selected' option which I can not find in Firefox 47 beta. When this option was selected a startup only the tab selected would be loaded, other tabs would only load when they were selected.
I had deselected this option in Firefox 46, but since using a Firefox 47 beta this option seems to have been selected, and I have been unable to find how to deselect it again. Is there a way to deselect the option in Firefox 47 beta, through about:config perhaps? Any help would be welcome.

hi, yes the checkbox was hidden since once disabled it causes negative effects with the new multi-process architecture that is introduced in firefox (bug 1257554). you could still create a new boolean preference in about:config called browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand and set it to false to have the same effect as before though that might break things in the future...
