    Once I’m around 20 I start to feel overwhelmed and just close them all, and start again. Selective pruning takes too much effort. I’ll find what I was looking for again

    I think in both FF and Chrome you can just go to menu, history and then recently closed windows.

      Ctrl + Shift + N in Firefoxen will reopen an entire closed window. Handy if you have multiple windows open but only closed one. Related to Ctrl + N for a new window.

          Is it different in Chromium based browsers? I just tested by closing a window with a few tabs, and T only brought back a tab from the remaining window, not the window I’d just closed.

    For Firefox Ctrl, Shift + D, it bookmarks all of your open tabs in a new folder.

    Do it every week? Wish I could know how to make it do itself everyday.

    I can fill the tab row and after that every tab decreases efficiency. If I can type where to go faster than I can find the old tab, what is the point.

    55 tabs, that is some serious gooning. If it is not private/incognito tabs this would not be an issue…

            Firefox has a plugin, sidebery, that will take snapshots of your tabs at a cadence you set. This lets you open tabs from prior sessions. I had a job where pretty much everything was browser based, and I would not have survived without it. It also has a ton of other features that I regularly used

                The side tabs function can be switched off on sidebery, but if all you want is something tracking your tabs, that one probably makes more sense

                  Yeah, thought I didn’t knew it could be took off. Maybe that was just an older version or I simply overlooked it. Other features of Sideberry actually attract me!

            And that is so cruel. It doesn’t forgive (well, it does, but only once)

    Hence why I have session restore enabled.

    So I can have my 1519 tabs back.

    Like any normal person.

    …this is what normal people do… right?

      Many years ago I once had almost 10 000 tabs open at some point. Today I only have a few hundred tabs open like an average person. :)

      I suggest a tab grouping addon because there are scenarios where you can still lose your tabs with just session restore (eg if you open a new browser window, that often gets treated as a different session and it will only save the one closed last, so if you close the big tab one first and then close a single tab, you might find it only has that single tab saved when you load it up again).

      I use Simple Tab Groups, which is set up to hide tabs from other groups until I switch to them, so it doesn’t depend on what is going on in the active session (well, kinda, FF does provide a lot of the infra, like the loaded tabs from inactive groups are still loaded), but uses its own data to save/restore tabs that isn’t just “save a flat list of tabs when window is closed”.

        Tree Style Tab (or any of the other very good extensions doing the same) is the ultimate to organize your tabs.

        And then you can answer to all these “But why ? Bookmarks are the only good way !” with : Why manually sort things in bookmarks when it can sort itself automagically and if it’s not adequate, it’s just drag and drop it on the view I already have at the side of my browser ?

        I use Zen Browser, so all windows have the same tabs (unless it’s a private window, but those don’t get saved). But for any other browser that doesn’t do this, tab groups are a good idea, when having that many tabs open.
