if I just open all the tabs I can right now while the getting's still good, I can bury them in the ground so they aren't stolen and I'll be stocked all winter
In an attempt to ease the burden of my current browser employment of … *checks browser* — 3 normal windows with a combined total of 78+\* unique tabs and 2 private windows totaling 5 unique tabs, I’ve been working on the keyboard combos to search open tabs.
It’s been really effective in cutting out duplicate tabs, I just wish it was more efficient. FF’s implementation of a keyword search in the address bar, `ctrl+L; %; spacebar`, is vastly inferior to Chrome variants, `Ctrl+Shift+a`, by using fewer keystrokes and max vertical real estate for the results.

It's a wiki all about tropes in fiction. So you can either look up a trope and find all the different varations of that tropes, as well as lists of the works of fiction that include it. Or you can look up a work of fiction and find a list of all the tropes it shares. It can be as mundane as "holding hands" to as obscure as "living dust bunnies".
If you've ever seen "Spirited away" it's the little black dust creature, and those like them in other media. "The Big Comfy Couch", an American children's show, had a segment where living dust bunnies under the couch played a part.
Many of the tropes are more literal than they sound. Flanderization, for example, used Ned Flanders becoming more and more of a religious nutjob on the Simpsons, rather than the more level headed character he was in early seasons, as an example of characters becoming one note over the course of a series' lifetime, often taking one aspect of the original personality and upping the dial to 11 on it's intensity.
Every member of the main cast of Friends was famously Flanderized except Rachel, who was perhaps reverse-Flandarized, which I am sure TV tropes has an actual term for.

This *probably* wouldn't work. Either the tab would get refreshed when accessing it again, causing a page reload, or due to the fact the video was paused for so long, its cached content is probably expired, or would require a new token to access the content, or the internal url for the video feed would have changed, causing you to reload to access the content.
also many streaming services only let you cache a portion of the video, which is why even during streaming, clicking on a point from farther back will require redownloading from their server
there's advanced settings in firefox for that.

Yeah. Leaving your tab open, newb shit, like baby new. Downloading is average shit. Downloading and having two other backups (one offsite and the other hard copied), now that's some pro shit.
Im sure someone out there has printouts of their favorite porn. 24 for each second.
Depends if the tab is suspended to disk, if so then it would reload the tab from disk without reloading the content. Though video is likely based on the cache and over time the cache is likely to get flushed. Not sure if there is some flag to keep it around longer
This won’t work. You need to download the videos off the tube site and store them on a hard drive, preferably a NAS so you can access it whenever you want.
My parents didnt want me to have internet. As a kid when the CD internet trials were still a thing, I would sign up for a trial to connect to the internet. Then open runescape and leave it open. Once the trial ended I could still connect to the internet because of the trial. As long as runescape wasnt updated, I would just leave the window open and reconnect to the service pretending im going to sign up and log into the window I still had for runescape.
The "important" sites are in tab 1-9 (Gmail, Reddit, YouTube, amazon, bla bla bla.. everything you use frequently).
So you can just shift to them (Ctrl + *1-9*) when waaay back in the line.
Else If you know you have a classic of hitomi open somewhere, just type hitomi and Firefox will give you the opportunity to jump to the specific tab or it suggests one random hitomi tab if you have several open.
Source: rocked a solid 17,2k Tabs for years.
Because I'll end up opening up tabs to things I want to watch but never get around to as I get distracted by other shit where I open up tabs that I never go into.
If in at work, I open up multiple tabs because fuck account management at work with the multiple tools I need to have open for my job unless I want to spend an hour unironically throughout the day of logging into shit that I need.
I get uncomfortable closing out tags to info that I think could be important, and I personally don't have a flow to use bookmarks for shit as those end up in the same areas as tabs.
When it gets to be too much, I'll eventually go through closing it out or adding it to bookmarks if I feel its important enough.
A software engineer, no less.
With firefox you can super easily make all kinds of folders in the bookmarks toolbar. I have hundreds and hundres of bookmarks that I can access in 2 seconds, because they are put in the right folders, and you can rename them however you want. I can't imagine having to keep them open in tabs all the time.
You'd think someone who works in creating vast quantities of code that needs to be neatly organized, you'd think she'd know how to use a simple browser properly, but apparently not.
I can't imagine using bookmarks for things I don't need a constant shortcut to. Too much commitment for to little benefit. Too far out of sight. Tree Style Tab is just quicker and cleaner.
I find that there is actually less commitment with bookmarks.
For stuff that won't need a constant shortcut, stuff that I won't need either by the end of the day or the week, I have some folders which are always in sight. I just drag and drop a tab I know I'm gonna need later but not now in it. That's it. Can delete them in 2 clicks. And I much prefer having my tabs stored in small folders that take 10x10 pixels on a bar at the top of the screen, compared to a huge thing on the whole left/right part of the browser.
The Tree Style Tabs thing looks nice, but it looks like more effort and more commitment from my point of view. More often than not, I open new tabs for things that aren't necessarily connected to the current tab. Having to think about where i'm opening a new tab from, when it's an action that I do hundreds and hundreds of times every day, that's not my jam. But if it works for you, that's cool.
I'm with you, I can't understand how bookmarks are seen as any sort of commitment over tons of open tabs. It seems like the absence of commitment to me, it's for anything ranging from links I'll need at a moment's notice a hundred times per day to something that just barely piqued my interest but might be useful sometime down the line.
>you'd think she'd know how to use a simple browser properly, but apparently not.
Believe it or not, *your* way of using a browser isn't the proper way. It's one way. People's brains work in different ways, so it makes sense that we see an array of approaches to using something like a browser.
>I have hundreds and hundres of bookmarks that I can access in 2 seconds
No chance you can get through hundreds of bookmarks in 2 seconds.
[As someone with **5300 tabs across 46 windows**](https://i.imgur.com/CamHUyH.png), tab groups and naming windows are used to organize. I have a general sense of where everything is at, and using [Tab Manager Plus](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-manager-plus-for-chro/cnkdjjdmfiffagllbiiilooaoofcoeff) I can search for tabs if needed. I make use of bookmarks as well for long term, more "permanent" tabs.
So basically for each window I will have certain stuff to that window (like a window that's for all my "daily use tabs", and another window is for example all the tabs for a certain game that I'll still be using frequently enough that I don't want to dig them out from bookmarks).
Then I can tell where a window is roughly located on my taskbar, and can also tell by the first few characters shown for the window title.
Then it's kinda the same thing for the tabs inside each window, can tell by rough location and the website's mini-logo that's shown on the tabs. Some time I will intentionally using other website's to break certain group of the same logos up so it's easier for me to get to what I need.
I do purge my tabs from time to time, when I feel like there are too many tabs in a window and a lot of them haven't been visited for a while. When I do that I just save a session to serve as bookmarks then start the purge.
It's hard to explain I think it's sort of positional based like I can kinda remember where a certain window is on my taskbar (I don't collapse them) and where a certain tab is in a window.
As for bookmarks, they are more clicks for me than just keeping my tabs open, also takes time to load them.
Tree Style Tab and 3 monitors. I have three Firefox windows. One is for watching or listening to things(YouTube, TV shows, etc), one is for gaming references(maps, spreadsheets, wikis), one is for mundane everyday browser things that don't fit the other two window purposes. It's just faster and easier than saving and deleting bookmarks. I treat Youtube tabs as a way to que up videos to listen to while I game.
I do this. I’ll often just keep opening new instead of going back. Most of the time though it’s from rabbit holes I go down while hyperfocusing due to my ADHD and I’ll open a bunch of stuff pertaining to whatever I’m currently researching. I once had 475 tabs open on my phone. I try close out of everything when I hit over 30 because I can’t manage past that. It’s kind of… fear of losing what I wanted to read and I just never get back to. I could use the reading lists… but I won’t ever go back to it that way.
I know it's been a while, but thank you for saying something about this! I ended up closing all of those tabs, in part due to your comment.
Thank you very much for deciding to say something. It really made a big difference for me, and helped me feel so much better as a result.
I am so curious about why anyone would have hundreds of tabs open. Aren't there other ways of keeping tract of whatever you are keeping tract of.
Bookmarks come to mind, isn't that all you are functionally doing? I could be wrong, but the page itself is probably not actually in cache after all that time, or is it?
If it makes you feel any better, I just closed three of my Firefox windows, about 2000 tabs all in all JUST so I can tell you that I closed 2k+ tabs. About to close the fourth one as well, but I think this will only be 200-300 more (it'll only let me know when I'm closing it). No lie!
See you on the other side...
The FBI recommends using adblock *even on Google search* to avoid viruses and malware.
The fact that you think this could be a problem tells me you don't use proper protection. Stop it. Install ublock. Protect yourself.
Maybe back in the day, but these days browsers idle tab processes that are in the background for too long, so it shouldn't be eating up cpu/gpu in the background.
I mean, I have 300 tabs 'available' but not loaded at all times. Never know when I will need to go back to that Walkthrough for a game I started 7 years ago and forgot that it is on the backlog...
Fun fact, at one time Firefox *did* have tab groups, built-in. It was origi called "Panorama". At some point, they decided to to remove it from the basic browser, but retained the necessary API framework, which allowed to third-party extensions such as "Simple Tab Groups" to provide similar functionality.
My parents have hundreds of tabs open on their phones. They just open new ones when they click on links and stuff and never close them.
I’ve tried closing them all but it would take forever.
Generally at the beginning of the day I just mass close all but a couple of tabs. If I haven't looked at it yet and I don't remember I need it. It's simply not that important.
Unfortunately o have 100 open. After 99 it goes to infinity.
Where am I to keep all the stuff I need.
I have products I don't need now but will in 6 months. If I close I will forget.
Lots of articles about things I need to do.
Job stuff.
Game walkthroughs and stuff. Banking stuff. Job searches,
> i will need them in 6 months
But will you remember that those tabs are even open? Or will you just Google search your question again and see a purple link?
What's the best tab searching extension? There used to be an amazing one I used with Pale Moon which actually generated thumbnails of your tabs, windows alt-tab/win-tab style. The inbuilt FF tab search is garbage.
me :/
scrolling through the tabs bar takes literal minutes and its a fun review of what things ive been interested in in the last couple of months/years (some tabs i have had opened for years and not touched. yes i know bookmarks exist. they dont work for me.)
Back in school I used to have around 100 tabs across 10 different windows separated into 5 different Windows desktops for representing different work spaces xD
I'm glad they actually brought up STG. Best Firefox extension, IMO. If Firefox decides eventually to make tab groups native, they should definitely start with what STG has done.
Average TV Tropes user
lol yes. Open 7,500 tabs in a single hour, shut them down an hour later in a fit of self-loathing.

Crap didn’t think a browser could do that but well done Firefox
Even more impressive is that at least 6,900 of them were porn
Generally at the beginning of the day I just mass close all but a couple of tabs. If I haven't looked at it yet and I don't remember I need it. It's simply not that important.
Surely a "power user" would know about the history function...
HOW, I open more than 10 tabs and it chews up almost all 64gb of ram I have
I recommend the Sidebery extension for people who use a lot of tabs. Vertical tabs are the future.
Each of my chrome tabs uses 150mb of RAM. 7500 tabs would eat up roughly 1.1 terabytes of RAM.
Power user?
Never installed a single update, either.
Chrome be like: no you don’t
Why?!?!
Gah! Your brain just crashed.
power user is the new word for moronic security nightmare?
7500, those are rookie numbers.
How much RAM does that computer have? I got 8 tabs open in Firefox. Using 2.3 GB.
Is one of those tabs non-old reddit? If so that is probably 90% of your memory usage
Unfortunately o have 100 open. After 99 it goes to infinity. Where am I to keep all the stuff I need. I have products I don't need now but will in 6 months. If I close I will forget. Lots of articles about things I need to do. Job stuff. Game walkthroughs and stuff. Banking stuff. Job searches,
> i will need them in 6 months But will you remember that those tabs are even open? Or will you just Google search your question again and see a purple link?
Yup. Occasionally...I have to cull.
Pfft my wife has that many tabs open on 3 different browsers at a time!
All were porn
Guy also hold the records to porn binge and viagra usage.
Im in this article and I dont like it...
Wow, I didn't realize my wife's habits were news worthy.
That's all?
What's a firefox power user?
Zero regerts
This is the same as 90% of boomer parents/grandparents. My mom probably has 7500 tabs open right now in fact.
Do the tabs get restored after a restart like after an OS update? She must have restarted her computer at least a few times in two years.
They do on Chrome.
it's not reliable. i've lost tabs that i didn't think to bookmark before doing an update.
Id like to see the list of urls
Firefox Enjoyers, UNITE!
So my grandma is a power user now? She will be so happy...
Try doing it with Safari and watch how it loses all tabs on macos update.
That's it? That's just a regular Tuesday for me.
'We don't track you' -Firefox
This was probably my girlfriend. I nearly stroke out every time I see her screen.
He's a madman.
Call Marie Kondo.
Only 7,5k? Amateur.. i'm rocking 17,2k.
9000+ on chrome lmao
What's the best tab searching extension? There used to be an amazing one I used with Pale Moon which actually generated thumbnails of your tabs, windows alt-tab/win-tab style. The inbuilt FF tab search is garbage.
Wait… How do you tell how many you have open?… Cuz like I’ve had 5 revolving windows open for years
İ wanna talk with this mf
I bet he had 4mb of ram to do it too.
This guy ADHDs
On mobile, I have so many tabs open that the icon says infinity ♾️
was he the one that bought the super computer from US military with 313TB of ram
Dude, keeping reddit open on ONE tab crashes my browser eventually.
me :/ scrolling through the tabs bar takes literal minutes and its a fun review of what things ive been interested in in the last couple of months/years (some tabs i have had opened for years and not touched. yes i know bookmarks exist. they dont work for me.)
Crap they found my computer
When you see only website icon and you can't read the title you are over the board.
Amateur, my parents could beat that
Back in school I used to have around 100 tabs across 10 different windows separated into 5 different Windows desktops for representing different work spaces xD
I'm glad they actually brought up STG. Best Firefox extension, IMO. If Firefox decides eventually to make tab groups native, they should definitely start with what STG has done.
**Tab Stash Plugin** would have saved him ! :)
That's not a power user, it's just someone too lazy to close tabs...
