Firefox Power User Keeps 7,400+ Browser Tabs Open for 2 Years (www.pcmag.com)

Hazel doesn't close tabs because it's 'like a trip down memory lane.' Mozilla says it has some profile and tab group features coming later this year that might help her organize those memories.

How do you get through an update without losing all your tabs

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

There's a setting to always have the tabs reopened when restarting the browser.

It also reopens them in an unloaded state, until you actually click on that tab, so that's how Firefox doesn't immediately explode when reopening 7000 tabs.

Or, in fact, the browser's history feature. 🙃

Firefox auto clears history after like a year. Annoys me no end when I want to go find something.

Oh... This can't be disabled?

A few of my windows got corrupted and white screened the other day. Big RIP to ~50 tabs
