You can close those tabs now. You’re never going to use them.

@woe2you @LoganFive btw, is this an extension? Or does firefox have this natively?
Show threadwoe2youMar 1

@tragivictoria @LoganFive

This one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-counter-webext/

Tab Counter – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Tab Counter for Firefox. Add a badge to the toolbar that shows the number of currently open tabs in a window or all windows.

@woe2you It kind of looks like you’re creating a calendar of tabs. A tab for every day of the week.

@LoganFive Coincidence, I promise. It's down to 363 now.

I bought 64gb of RAM, I'm going to use 64gb of RAM.

Edit: uh, that was a few years back. I'm not rich or anything.

@woe2you @LoganFive

I also bought 64 gb of RAM a couple years ago, when it was cheap. I'm very glad I did, because 16gb isn't enough and have you seen RAM prices lately? I can't afford a new mortgage right now.

Same. I have new server plans, but they're on hold for the foreseeable future. Or until I get desperate, whichever comes first.

@cnk If you love a tab, set it free. If you’re able to find it later, it was always yours. If you never find it again, it was never yours to begin with.

@LoganFive My browser automatically closes all tabs when I quit the program and does not restore on startup. I also quit the program as soon as I'm done with what I wanted to accomplish.

@LoganFive

You're probably right, but no I will not.

Edit: for the record, I'm at 870 tabs currently

Show threadLogan Five ThousandMar 1
@crabbypup That’s the highest I’ve heard so far. Maybe I should run an open tab competition and she who has the highest?
Show threadcrabbypupMar 1

@LoganFive

At one point in the past, I had closer to 1600 in my main personal browser session, but when I moved to firefox I spent some time cleaning it up, and I'm sure a good number of them probably blew up during the move as well.

As you might imagine, I use a tab suspender extension to unload tabs and keep them unloaded until I choose to restore them, and switching browsers meant converting my suspended tab URLs from one format to another, which I built a script for, but there were a couple that didn't convert, and post migration I spent time cleaning that up and removing tabs that succumbed to link rot.

In addition, my work session is about 400 tabs at the moment.

@LoganFive I never understood this. I always want a fresh session. There's a reason why you can favorite pages...

I find it incredibly annoying when the browser exits once you close the last tab.
Luckily, #firefox has a toggle to disable that.
#chromium not so much (there's an addon, but it just reopens the browser 🤮), which is why I'm sticking with the #mozilla
