Hint: use multiple windows. One window with few tabs is for programming to-reads, second windows - with sites from searching for some item to buy, third - with stock information, etc. This way accumulating 100+ tabs is really not a big deal and it still remains manageable. Until FF crashes or, worse yet, grinds to a halt that is. "We are sorry, it is so embarrasing" it would say on a restart and then get herniated again trying to open all these tabs AT ONCE. Poor thing.

I am a tab hoarder also but personally i'm quite impressed at the speed and responsiveness of FF when restarting with 100-or-so tabs.

Yeah, I know, I should take my question to Stack Overflow, but does anyone know how to configure FF to not try to reopen tabs after a crash? (Takes a long time on my old machine.)

  In about:config, change browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash.

  Well, Superuser, not Stack Overflow. Go to about:config and set browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to false. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_from_c...

  you could also try using the session manager add-on. I find it pretty handy for when FF crashes with 20+ tabs open in the HN tree, another 10 or so in whatever google search tree I have open, and some other miscellaneous tabs.

  A while back I remember using an extension that would restore all of your previous tabs on start up, but not actually load them until you clicked on them. It fixed the situation you describe, but sadly it looks like it no longer works with the current version of Firefox.

  This is default behavior as of Firefox 4. When you launch a new browser, the (default) home page has a "restore last session" button.
