Firefox Power User Keeps 7,400+ Browser Tabs Open for 2 Years

vendredi 3 mai 2024, 19:30 , par Slashdot
An anonymous reader shares a report: A software engineer has been keeping nearly 7,500 Firefox tabs open on her Mac computer for over two years -- and doesn't plan on closing them anytime soon. The Firefox power user, who goes by the pseudonym 'Hazel' online, posted a screenshot showing 7,470 tabs open earlier this week after finding the browser initially unable to restore all the tabs. Hazel was able to bring the tabs back to life via a Firefox profile cache, however, and tells PCMag that reloading the full session took 'no more than a minute.'

'I feel like a part of me is restored,' Hazel wrote on X once the Firefox tabs had returned. The Firefox fan tells PCMag in a message that she keeps so many tabs open for nostalgia reasons. 'I like to scroll back and see clusters of tabs from months ago -- it's like a trip down memory lane on whatever I was doing/learning about/thinking about,' she says. Surprisingly, all those tabs haven't impacted the computer's performance. 'Firefox is quite memory efficient and isn't actually loading the websites unless I click on the tab -- so it's not very resource intensive,' Hazel says.
