Hey #Firefox hackers! My credit card issuer, Chase, does something funky where its page won’t load unless it’s in the focused tab:
https://secure.chase.com/web/auth/dashboard
I want to get it to load in the background instead.
Any ideas? I tried turning off all the lazy-load-enabled settings in about:config but that didn’t work.
Why are you trying to bypass a security feature of your bank? Because that’s obviously what this is, so that nothing shady can happen in the background without your knowledge. This post seems pretty suspicious to me.
Maybe your interests are completely innocent, but this kind of bypass can and likely has been used nefariously.

Not sure this is related but since I started using CanvasBlocker addon, they make me use MFA every time with 8 digit pin and pw again. It’s as if part of their auth process is digital fingerprinting. Caveat: I’m not a hacker or expert (in case it wasn’t obvious). Why not just wait for page load? Shpilkes?@c01x@infosec.exchange Thanks!
@pluralistic@mamot.fr is this background tab throttling? Sounds like that’s not what you tried disabling. This website seems semi decent at offering help: https://www.itechtics.com/disable-tab-throttling/#disable-sleeping-tabs-in-google-chrome
