Is it possible to stop all of the tabs in a saved session from opening all at once to save memory?

I was wondering if it is possible to stop all of the tabs from loading from a saved session when I open it? I wanted to be able to have all tabs appear but not load or stop them from loading so while I have the whole session open the individual tabs only load when I click on them. Is this possible? I used to use the browser Maxthon which had the option.

Thank you, Isebas

See:

If restore_on_demand is set, pinned tabs are restored on startup by default. When restore_on_demand is set to true, the restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand pref overrides that behavior, and pinned tabs will only be restored when they are focused. 

browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
