> why don't? unused tabs won't consume much, or at least noticeable to me.
Because I COMPLETELY misread your original comment. :( I thought it read that you were using Chrome, not Firefox.
I'm truly very sorry about that, eridal.
My experiences are just like yours, though. Firefox works great for me (relatively low memory usage, up to and including 200+ tabs). Chrome, on the other hand, not so much.
Hopefully you can see why I was surprised, but it was through the entire fault of my own eyes apparently interleaving another comment with yours. I'm an idiot. ;)
