What do you mean by "lose them"? They are in the browser, stored for next session. Why would they be lost?

Firefox is very capable of managing this many tabs. You can also use things like % in the address bar to quickly jump to any ob those tabs, even, if they are not loaded, which most of them will not be.

I ran around with 4k tabs for quite a while. It does slow down startup of the browser a little though, and that is what made me close most of them.

From time to time, usually when Chrome crashes, it restarts without the tabs history saved so you cannot restore them. I also can't remember the last time this happened tho, it's been at least a few years.

  • Actually, it probably simply closed the wrong window. Just like you can reopen the last tab, you can also reopen the last closed window. I run into this issue all the time when I open a second window and close the main window first.
