I hope this message finds you well! I use two versions of Firefox: the stable one and the developer one.

The developer version is set to start with the Windows start and is set to be minimized on the Windows try but since some years Firefox, as other browser do, never load the page or the tab content if the tab or the window is not active, been seen by the user.

I'm asking if there is some hidden settings in the about:config that allow me to disable this and let Firefox load tabs or page always, not only when the tab or windows is seen by me.

Thank you.

Maybe I found how this issue is called. Can be the Windows window occlusion and the relative hidden flag that can help to disable this in about:config can be widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled to change from true to false.
