    who does that?!

    How can it be in any way useful to keep 7000 open tabs?

    Has she not heard of bookmarks?

    I am thoroughly confused

      The article explains that she likes to look at tabs in the past as a reminder of something she was interested in.

      It’s sort of a snapshot in time. I get it. But hell no I’m closing tabs.

        I have 4 virtual desktops, usually each with their own Firefox instance. I still have less than 10 tabs open.

        YOU DON’T NEED THAT MANY TABS

        You can bookmark a whole window full of tabs all into a single bookmark folder. It’s called “bookmark all tabs” or something like that. Then later you can open all of them again into a new window using a single button again.

        I know the average person isn’t tech savvy, but this loss is almost entirely on themself. If you have 7000 tabs open and it’s important to you that they stay saved, then it’s on you to simply ASK someone if keeping them open is an ok way to do it

              firefox just remembers the url, or not? when my system crashes and firefox recovers my tabs it needs to load them all from their respective servers first, so it seems like it’s not “saving” the page on exit

      There’s a tool I use at work for administrating Apple devices and it opens about four tabs for every profile you look at. You can quickly stack up to about 50 tabs. Utterly stupid programming.

      But I’m not using it I have maybe 12 tabs open at a time.
