  Of those which were opened more than 1 hour ago, how many have you used in the last hour, would you suppose?

    In the last hour? I just started work an hour ago, so like 4.

      So the other 196 are sort of, things you’re not working on, but haven’t really done with, and might need again?

      I think most people use some combination of notes, bookmarks, history, and search to manage this.

  Why? Bookmarks exist. Are you trying to make sure all your ram stays full or what?

    Isn’t this an old thing by now? Pretty sure tabs that are not used for X amount of time are put to “sleep”.

    Bookmarks exist

    Bookmarks also need a huge redesign, and not only with FF.

    That is why services like Pocket and reading lists exist… Heck, I have been using Evernote as a bookmark replacement for many years (and now I need to find a replacement for it, Sadly).

      Yeah, I think you’re right, but open tabs are sort of similar, they just make using your computer slower and tabs harder to find at a certain point. I say this and I have 32 GB of RAM. I find it noticeably slower if I have like 30 tabs open.

      And yeah 5 characters isn’t enough for me to know what that open tab is. I have watched people use tabs like that, and no one seems to actually deal with it well. It always seems to be a struggle that they just cope with. Clicking 17 times to find a tab isn’t making anyone’s life easier.

        That is only because stock FF tab management today is trash.

        I don’t like Chrome’s too much better, but for me Safari having an integrated Simple Tab Groups feature was a must have feature.

        Now with these new changes can actually help to manage this, and it seems that it won’t affect FF usage at all, so one could keep using TST or Sidebery if they wanted to, for a more serious tab management.

        Also, I only have 16 GBs of RAM, but I have yet to feel my MacBook Pro any slower because of FF, especially when FF is able to sleep tabs or if you restart it manually.
