dont load start up tabs

hello

I had long time ago asked for a feature not to load start up tabs when starting opera

I saw firefox included a briliant relevant option, to load start up tabs ONLY after activation of them

will we see something similar in opera?

thanks

tabs that are opened when you start opera (that are the tabs that you had opened at the time you closed opera)

I agree to what he is asking for.

The scenario is this:
You have closed opera and had like 30 tabs opened. Some of them were paused youtube videos, vimeo, whatever that starts playing once loaded.

When you start opera again, all those tabs will start playing at the same time making an awful or nice sound, but not desireable in general, and you have to track all the tabs for what's playing in the background.
Other scenarios would be low bandwidth connections in a laptop where you start opera and have to stop all the loading so you don't have to wait 30 minutes until all of them finish loading.

Firefox 8 has an option on startup section that says: "Don't load tabs until selected", tat means that you open firefox, have the 30 tabs opened, but none of them start loading its content until you "open" the tab.
If you don't like that, you can unselect this option, but if you do like it, you CAN enable, in Opera we cant'.

Sorry if my grammar is not the best, English is not my native language.
