It’s a losing battle me trying to tell my wife to close her Firefox tabs, haha, but yes, Firefox does use a lot of ram when you have 500 tabs. Maybe I’ll get her a 64GB MacBook Pro for the premium web browsing experience she so desires!
I do it myself and I'm sure a lot of people on HN do too. But I've tried to embrace the "zen" of closing all tabs lately and it's been nice. If I really want to find something later I can search my history or, like you said, just bookmark it.

I have a Firefox window with 3500 tabs right now.
Tabs as bookmarks, people keep falling into this trap, my wife included

She shouldn't have to do anything. That's the browser's job.
What page? Azure portal is notorious for leaking memory in both chrome and firefox, that’s the only tab I’ve seen using 5+ gb ram.
Is it leaking or is it by design? As far as I remember Azure site is just all of the pages combined in one single massive DOM.
