Hence why I have session restore enabled.
So I can have my 1519 tabs back.
Like any normal person.
...this is what normal people do... right?
Many years ago I once had almost 10 000 tabs open at some point. Today I only have a few hundred tabs open like an average person. :)
Seems totally normal to me. Yep.
I suggest a tab grouping addon because there are scenarios where you can still lose your tabs with just session restore (eg if you open a new browser window, that often gets treated as a different session and it will only save the one closed last, so if you close the big tab one first and then close a single tab, you might find it only has that single tab saved when you load it up again).
I use Simple Tab Groups, which is set up to hide tabs from other groups until I switch to them, so it doesn't depend on what is going on in the active session (well, kinda, FF does provide a lot of the infra, like the loaded tabs from inactive groups are still loaded), but uses its own data to save/restore tabs that isn't just "save a flat list of tabs when window is closed".
Actually Firefox has native groups, I love them. Also it has containers.
Tree Style Tab (or any of the other very good extensions doing the same) is the ultimate to organize your tabs.
And then you can answer to all these "But why ? Bookmarks are the only good way !" with : Why manually sort things in bookmarks when it can sort itself automagically and if it's not adequate, it's just drag and drop it on the view I already have at the side of my browser ?
I use Zen Browser, so all windows have the same tabs (unless it's a private window, but those don't get saved). But for any other browser that doesn't do this, tab groups are a good idea, when having that many tabs open.
