- eeeeeeeeeeeee 10y agoNot even criticizing, but how do you manage 130 tabs? How do you find tabs you're looking for? You must have some kind of system!
- krzyk 10y agoNot sure how he does it, but I don't manage those. I just don't close tabs (I usually forget to do it :), so after week or two I end up with 200-300 tabs (my record is 900). I tried to use chrome once and it ate all my ram, and they were saying it uses less ram then firefox back then.

- bzbarsky 10y agoFirefox lets you search your open tabs (urls/titles/etc). The simplest way to find the tab you're looking for is to do just that: search.
