Vertical tabs when?
That’s not too many.
Before it broke, I had 58 tabs open on my phone, currently I have only 19. Although on desktop I generally don’t cross 10.
But my aunt surpassed everything.
Her Chrome (Android) doesn’t even show a number anymore. It’s just “:D” -
On Firefox Android after ~100 tabs the amount is replaced with ∞.
On mine it is permanently ∞.
Are you sure they’re not just under inactive tabs?
Mine is like that lol
I guess if there were a way to turn off favicons -//-
One of my friends is the worse tab hoarder I’ve ever seen.
Dude even had even script on his PC to actively backup his tabs for the inevitable moment his browser or PC would crash
I know someone’s gonna say ‘doesn’t Firefox backup tabs automatically in the event of a crash anyway?’ and you’d be correct
But ONE TIME it didn’t and left my buddy distraught which is why he has multiple fail-safes now.
I believe there is an add on called “Tab stash” or something like that on firefox. It stashes tabs so that the use can restore them later.
It’s been some time since I last used it. seeing your comment just reminded me of it. Thanks

Hey, Simple Tab Groups do this for me!
Few feelings are more freeing than closing basically all of them down. Usually I don’t even miss them, essentially all upside.
Tab hoarding is just poor man’s bookmarks.
Oh wait, you’re on Gelbooru. Nevermind, I get it.

Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Hydrus?
Oh dear. I regret.
NSFW warning for anyone who doesn’t understand this comment.
Those G’s are what you should be embarrassed about, not the amount of tabs. ◉‿◉
How do YOU know what the G’s mean, boo?
Stare into the abyss long enough and the evil god of knowledge tells you things.
that’s a christmas tree from above, and no amount of tentacles will convince me otherwise.
ik ;p
What are the G’s? I’ve tried everything I can think of but I can’t find it
Sidebery And userchrome.css to hide the default tab bar
At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you’ll be less embarrassed that way?
I have developed a sense to bookmark all of my tabs when there are too many. I store all of them in a folder and later I order the tabs in the folder in my other folders or just delete them. I can’t live with more than 6 tabs opened because I just forget why I want them.
How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.
Finally, someone who understands me
Probably because 10 out of 14 of them are porn lol
Yeah, I see no issue with this. Im not gonna save seasons or bookmark entire window, Ill just leve it there, why not. RAM is there to be used.
…why?
Reposting a comment I wrote in another thread that explains it:
Bookmarks are for things I’ll need to reference again and again in the coming years. I do keep a tightly-curated bookmark collection, I just don’t want it clogged up with a bunch of stuff I can’t foresee needing in the long term.
Tabs are for things I’m working on right now and don’t need bookmarking for the long term. And, for what it’s worth, most of the browser windows are custom-titled, so the windows themselves are a lot like bookmark folders, while the tabs are like temporary bookmarks.
Plus, the ability to search through tabs by hitting Ctrl+Shift+A means that it ends up being faster to search through my tabs than my bookmarks, without using the mouse. ex: Ctrl+Shift+A, Type needed page, up/down arrows if needed, then hit enter to move to the tab. With Ctrl+Shift+O, you don’t get the same ease of scrolling the results without tabbing through a bunch of junk first.
There are other reasons, including neurological ones surely, but those are my primary justifications.
In Firefox Ctl+T opens a new tab, "% " will search your open tabs.
You caught me. I still daily drive Chrome. I am an on-again off-again Firefox user and have been for nearly 2 decades.
That said, I appreciate that input. I’ve been working on switching over to using Firefox as my daily driver, but it’s going to take some time for me to fully transition, unless you know of an extension or script that can migrate all my chrome tabs over to Firefox. I’m curious to see if it can handle my full browsing habits, now that they’ve evolved into what most would consider “tab hoarder” behavior.
I usually clear mine out when I get over 150 or so. My workflow absolutely doesn’t work on Chrome, but Firefox seems to handle it fine.
My god
How much memory does your computer have?
32gb. The browser is using about 11.2gb of ram at the moment, but I haven’t restarted the browser or the computer in about a week. After a browser restart it’s usually only using 5~6gb, though that steadily climbs as I reactivate hibernated tabs.

That’s a lot. I sometimes get naughty and open 6
got really crazy and had like ten open yesterday 😬
I usually finish before I get to the end of the tabs, then I get sad because I probably won’t ever revisit those tabs. Maybe they would have been “the one?” Forever lost.
Many tabs would be less of a problem in Firefox if the tab handling was better.
I use Firefox on principle, but tbh, Chrome’s and esp. Vivaldi’s tab handling are miles ahead.
TabStash is the name of the extension that solved my tabs problems. Now I have hundreds of tabs “open”, but they are neatly organized (stashed).
Yeah, I know that extension. It’s great.
But.
It just cannot compare to the power of Chrome’s/Edge’s tab stacking, tab grouping and group renaming, Vivaldi’s workspaces, saving tabs as sessions, tiling tabs etc. All out of the box.
sigh One day Firefox will catch up. I hope.
I couldn’t agree more. I use ff with tab stash at home and Edge at work. Tab groups and workspaces are miles ahead of anything ff has.
Sadly, this is such a massively lacking set of features that indeed it can slow productivity in some scenarios and encourage the use of the Chromium engine in one of its many iterations.
When productivity matters, Firefox is not the first choice.
And I say that with deep disappointment, as I don’t want it to be like that. I’ve tried many extensions, but they don’t fully cover all the bases that I and the people I work with would need to reach the same productivity as with the above mentioned browsers.
Try Sideberry, tab grouping, renaming, dragging and dropping, snapshots, etc.
Is it an upgrade over TST ?
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it.
Unfortunately again: “Nice, but.” It’s a fantastic extension that does its best to make up for Firefox’s lack of tab handling. Hats off to the developer. Nevertheless, it is a far cry from what the competition has to offer. The others don’t need a space-consuming side panel. They can do all these things with the tabs themselves. Firefox can do almost nothing in comparison.
To each their own, I suppose. This has been my favorite tab management system I’ve used.
I haven’t used Vivaldi in years and only tried it for a short period at the time, but what features exactly are miles ahead or is it just the fact that Firefox requires a plugin to do some of what the competition has natively?
'Don’t know about tabs alone but I regularly have 20-30 windows open. Many of those have more than 3 tabs. Firefox starts to get a little slow beyond that count on my machine.
I wonder why
