Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

A Firefox power user managed to keep over 7,400 browser tabs open continuously for two years. This impressive feat highlights both the robustness of the Firefox browser and the user's dedication to multitasking or information hoarding. However, managing such a large number of tabs can significantly impact system performance and may not be practical for most users. Regularly organizing and closing unnecessary tabs can help maintain browser efficiency and improve overall system performance. Also visit Prüfen Sie dies.

Sometimes I see people complaining about firefox crashing or being low performance, and I'm always like, I've been using firefox for 20 years its always been fine. Then I see this and I'm like okay, I guess me topping out at 20-30 tabs when researching something new isn't enough for some people? Use book marks.

If one needs 7400+ tabs open, they shouldn't be allowed access to the internet.

Is this an onion article because when I have 10 tabs open my processor tries to cook itself.

Jokes aside, are you using Firefox? Any updated organizational strategies? @[email protected]

[–] Desistance 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like nephew. I don't know how he keeps track of 50+ opened tabs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] @[email protected] I have about 30 pinned tabs between Firefox and 2 other browsers.
