Usually probably about 1000 tabs, spread over 100 to 200 windows on 10–20 virtual desktops. (I also block Javascript by default, so Firefox still runs alright.)

  How do you manage the windows? Opening other windows is how I've lost open tabs before, so now I keep a single Firefox window.

    If you cant remember where the tab is by its favicon, the easiest thing to do is search for it by name. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/goto-tab/hjfkaobgkmaeomgdhmhhipdbjdhhjkoi?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/goto-tab/hjfkaobgk...

    I tend to give each major thing I'm working on its own virtual desktop, which has a bunch of open browser and other windows. Each of the browser windows tends to have its own theme, too. (E.g. documentation for a particular framework, articles from a particular journal, a news topic, etc.) That makes it relatively easy for me to keep a handle on things. If I feel like I can't find things on a virtual desktop any more, that's my hint to clean things up a bit. My biggest source of grief is session management between restarts. Firefox thankfully remembers the windows and tabs, but it doesn't reopen windows on the same virtual desktops they were on when it closed, at least under GNOME defaults. (Nor do the other programs.) That makes me do a lot of manual rearranging whenever it restarts, which is a pain. Other than that, it usually works well.
