10? Try (currently) 98 across 9 windows, 2 desktops. Firefox just dies. Chrome works, but Edge (thanks to its more agressive backgrounder) handles it fine. Reopens windows after reboot/shutdown better too. And that number goes up if I’m researching something - I’ve been upwards of 200 across 3 or 4 desktops in the past, easily.
And that’s how you use things, which is fair enough. I prefer to have an organised, ready-to-go access to commonly required resources that I can view at a glance. I have things like e-mail, calendar, various (multiple) messaging and social media resources open at all times. I also have documents and reference materials that are regularly accessed open. Books and long-form reading materials stay open at the position I’m at. Further to that, if I’m researching something it may take time for my thoughts and desires to coalesce; during that time, the primary research tabs stay open in their own group. I may have somewhere between 3 - 6 things I’m researching at a time, with varying numbers of tabs. Then there’s note-taking, coding, gaming and rewards sites. Sure, some I use as ‘bookmarks’, but not that many - most are things that are in long-term progress and use.
I have like 300 tabs open at any given time, I have never had this problem. I also recently downloaded an extension for tab groups and making it so tabs get suspended after 15 minutes of inactivity, but I’m not really sure that was necessary at all.
Not available on my android device, and I don’t really use other computers, so I dunno. I think onetab is supported on both, but I haven’t used that one too much.
That’s a bit of a deal breaker for me; I’m constantly swapping tabs from mobile to desktop… Oh well, I’ll stick with Edge for now. Might do some more research myself anyway
What are you doing that renders Firefox unusable? I’ve never had this issue in over a decade and I usually have 10+ tabs open.

Just ew… I will never understand this shit. Tabs aren’t fucking bookmarks.

I might have to give it a try. How is cross device sync and android support? I’ll often send a group to the mobile…
