I have 156 windows in firefox (it tells you the number when you shut down), with (my estimate) 20-30 tabs in each. So 3900 tabs.

- thegabriele 4y agoHow can you manage such numbers? And...why?
- brokenmachine 4y agoI replied below, not sure why the reply button wasn't there for me before.
- jeroenhd 4y agoGive it a minute if there's no reply link, you usually can't reply to comments within a short while after posting.
- gaetgu 4y agotouche. Also... WHY?
- brokenmachine 4y ago@thegabriele don't know why it won't let me reply to you but... I like using tabs because they keep the history of each tab. Bookmarks don't do that. If I just kept bookmarks, if the page went down I wouldn't be able to go back, and maybe find another way to find an archive of that page. In Firefox I can search for tabs by typing, "% searchterm" into the url bar. Then I can right click on the back button to see how I arrived at a particular page. If I know I'll want to come back to where I was, I'll mostly duplicate the tab (thus keeping the history), and then click on the link. Alternatively I'll click a link using the middle mouse button to open the link in a new tab, but that doesn't keep the history. I try to keep all tabs for a particular project or topic in one or two windows but clearly I'm very bad at doing that. Firefox only loads background tabs when you click on them, so it's good for this kind of tab abuse. My PC has 64Gb RAM and a 1Tb SSD, why should I ever have to close a tab??
- _visgean 4y agosounds like you are using tabs as bookmarks
- brokenmachine 4y agoTabs are better because they keep the history.
