I've been wondering this for years. I'm glad Firefox can handle it but I can't help but feel that whatever use case people have shouldn't be the concern of a browser and could be better solved by a tool designed specifically for whatever it is they need.
- eitland 9y agoFirefox w/tree style tabs is a research tool for many of us.
- beagle3 9y agoFor me, whenever I find myself with 100 tabs, I realize that the problem is the bookmark/tab dichotomy, which can probably be solved with better UI - e.g. a bookmark is a frozen tab with a copy of the last content it showed, and be refreshed automatically or on demand.
- seba_dos1 9y agoI never use bookmarks, at all. Tabs in Firefox work that way just great.
- beagle3 9y agoThey sort-of-do, but on my machine (an i3 with 8GB memory running Ubuntu), there's threshold that - when crossed - causes it to slow down considerably, and e.g. take about 5 minutes to become interactive after quitting and restarting. Also, they are way too easy to close accidentally; bookmarks stay, but if you accidentally closed one of your thousand tabs 3 months ago, good luck finding it in history.
- seba_dos1 9y agoI had that issue (slow restart) with earlier versions, but it has been fixed with FF56.
- citruscomputing 9y agoThis. I use onetab[0] for chrome as an intermediary between bookmarks and tabs. It lets me send all the tabs on the right, left, just the current tab etc to a temporary bookmarks page that I can scroll through and restore from with ease.
