These are temporary tabs which are revisited and closed in a specific manner.
Saving them implies I need them in the long-term. I would also need to explore them again.
How short term are you actively using all 100 tabs?
My workflow is also primarily keyboard-based. I don’t even use many bookmarks. Hotkeys to open new tabs or move the cursor to the address bar, and type like 3 letters of the site I want to go to before autocomplete knows what I want. Easier to me than having to maintain/remember the order of tabs.

This session is almost one year old and on my private laptop.
At work I used to juggle three projects so sometimes I had three windows with up to 30-40 tabs. Effectively they remain about 5 workdays project wise. I use it as a short-term memory: While on call, open tab with workload, write it down on paper and queue it.
Best thing is to finally close all that crap and get to a tab I wanted to read for my own.
I don’t even use many bookmarks.
Me neither. Had to tweak the urlbar in about:config though.

That’s ctrl_G right? I tend to close + open the tab to get to the address bar and then restore the closed tab. Is there a more quicker way to get into the address bar than said binding?

It’s reliable and muscle memory. Its perfect for short interruptions and and then resume where I have left.
Save bookmarks, sort them by date accessed, maybe?

In Firefox (and Chrome, I think?) Ctrl+L is what gets you into the address bar.
