I have some problems with my firefox consuming too much resources on my system when I have a lot of tabs open.

Nocsript addon and such helps somewhat, so most of the time that is ok.

But, when I am about to start a CPU-intensive operation it does get in the way, so knowing I will not need it for the time being, I am using a little snippet that does a "kill - STOP" on firefox, and toggle it back on with "kill -CONT" when I need it again.

This works nicely, I was wondering, though, whether there is a simple way to integrate this into the UI.

I was thinking of the "right-click on window" menu, which normally offers maximize/minimize and move to workspaces.

Is this possible, and if so, advisable?

Pointing me to the necessary docs or right places would be all I need, of course a more detailed answer would be great, I have only found answers on the Nautilus context menu so far.

An easier to customize solution would be using a desktop file instance which can be accessed via unity's sidebar's popup (right-click) menu.

This can be done via this answer on firefox's .desktop file or even by creating your own.
