Not a gazillion tabs but about:telemetry#scalars-tab_search=tab tells me that I have 102 open tabs in Firefox.
I have five virtual desktops, two for me and three for my current three customers. One Firefox window per desktop. The windows in the three customers' desktops have the tabs to the web apps (prod, preprod, dev) I'm working on plus documentation sites, CI, cards, administration sites, etc. That's 10 to 20 tabs per customer. Some of them are pinned. The two windows in mine desktops have some pinned tabs and some stuff that keeps there maybe for a long time until I finally close it. Not a big deal, but 102 tabs in one window would be challenging. I bet somebody has 1,000 of them in one window and will write that it's not a big deal too :-)
- herewulf 4y agoI have had close to 1000 but not in one window. I have several clients who regularly ask me to do random things that necessitate a lot of tabs, so that all adds up. A lot of times it is unclear when that project or task is actually "done" (I wait on feedback or requests further work) so they accumulate. I eventually got smart and put the tabs for one project/task in a new window. Then I can just close the window to get rid of those tabs. Then I also have the problem of finding links relating to my personal computing interests, so those build up also until I read them in my free time or reorganize them. To answer the original question, tab search is entirely necessary.
