Firefox does something like this. It doesn't load tab content on restart until the tab gains focus.

Except for the tab that was active.

Even this becomes annoying when you have to wait for the page to load to see it's content and is heavy but not media content heavy. Something like Google+ or coursera pages.

I think it's a setting - maybe "browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs" ?

[Ziomislaw]

is it the default? I thought you had to explictly enable that
