- CodesInChaos 9mo agoGet the OneTab extension. It'll save and close all those tabs. That way you won't have Firefox crashing during startup once you exceed the number of tabs it can handle (a few thousand).
- b112 9mo agoI have 117 thousand tabs, and it starts up fine. Just adjust your shm ratio. (I'm kidding)
- fl0id 9mo agoYou can also just do tab groups in ffx
- lxgr 9mo agoDoesn't Firefox natively unload tabs these days?
- Tarq0n 9mo agoI've had it function just fine around 9000 tabs.
- versteegen 9mo agoTip: the crashing is caused by certain extensions such as OneTab and All Tabs Helper which for some reason seem to cause all the tabs to load, just when restoring a session. Temporarily disable these extensions before restoring, then you can reenable.
- mlmonkey 9mo agoI use Chrome and have 1500 tabs on my MacBook Pro. I'm a packrat.
- silon42 9mo agoAmateur numbers... I've tested over 10000 (not right now)... It used to get really slow after 9000, but things seem to have improved.
- codedokode 9mo agoWere all tabs loaded though? If one tab takes 10 Mb of RAM (very low estimate; many take 50-100 Mb, especially Youtube), then 10K tabs require 100Gb.
- arzig 9mo agoI’ve started seeing tabs that weigh in at multiple gbs. Cloud provider consoles are particularly egregious examples here.
