The problem is that you're doing something that uses lots of tabs, and with luck you remember to close them down. Still, at the end of the day, you may have an extra five tabs open, and that's 100 a month. After a few months you have 500 tabs.

So then you devote a couple of hours to going through and closing tabs, and find you still have 300...

The solution, if anyone ever gets this far down the page, is to use Session Manager to save the tabs, close Firefox, and then just uncheck the boxes for the tabs you don't ever want to reload.

See that "you don't remember to close them down" part gets me, or rather doesn't. I mean I have a lot of tabs open when I'm working, but at the end of the day I close my browser and I don't have any fixed set of pages that it opens or last session, it just opens on the new tab page and asks for commands.

I just can't stand if my browser has so many tabs open I can't read the what the hell it is from the header and since I always use browser only on half of my screen with editor on the other side (actually since I have 21:9 screen I've split it in 3 so I can have project | editor | docs) that gives me at most like 15+-5 tabs to work with.

But maybe I'm just the weirdo out of everyone.
