I like both these experiments - especially Pulse for when my friends complain that Firefox feels slower on a particular website.

If someone from the Test Pilot team is on this thread, can you let us know if "Suspend Tabs" is being considered for a Test Pilot experiment at all? SnoozeTabs plus SuspendTabs along with e10S would make for a great trifecta of features for my Firefox usage profile.

Thanks for the great work on these and the other experiments.

Test Pilot team member here.

I don't think that such an experiment is being considered right now, but we definitely take pitches! Our Discourse would be a great place to do give one: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/test-pilot/develop...

Followup: after using Snooze Tabs personally for a few days, it struck me that this is actually a pretty natural feature for Snooze Tabs. Filed a bug for that:
