How do I stop old tabs from going to sleep when not opened for a while?
Ever since the Firefox 57 update, my tabs sort of go to sleep when I haven't opened them for a while -- that is to say, if I switch to a tab I haven't used in a few hours, it shows a white page with a loading wheel. While I understand that it's to preserve memory, waking these tabs up is an absolute nightmare and cause the entire browser to slow or freeze. How do I turn off this option?

If on a limited account of gigs it is wise to let them sleep. If unlimited band with use then, maybe others Copy/Paste keep Alive into the Search Box on the Below URL.
