I have 5 tabs open. It usually bounces between 5-50 as I try to close tabs I'm not using.

I feel like browsers should have a refresh button. I have Firefox set to clear history and tabs on closing since that is what I usually prefer. However, once in a while I'll have 20 tabs open, but Firefox has been running for days and I feel like it's eating up more memory than it needs and getting sluggish. It would be nice to click a button where it simply closes and reopens Firefox with all of the tabs present again.

Before Firefox switched to WebExtensions there were addons that made that possible, but I don't think they work anymore. So I have about:profiles page bookmarked which has the restart button and use that when needed. Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
