55 tabs, that’s cute.
1337
Did you know that at some point Firefox switches from displaying a number of tabs to a lil infinity sign?
Wouldn’t be able to handle it.
My browser clears everything every time I close it. Like sessions, logins, history, cookies, …
If I need it I will be able to find it again. Or I create a bookmark. That is what you’re supposed to do anyway.
I’ll never understand why so many people keep so many tabs open, When I find something worthy of revisit I just bookmark the website, or I just visit and close the tab when I’m done.
Could someone explain this to me? is it a generational thing (I grew up in the 90s)?
55? Those are rookie numbers
Just reopen them?
I feel crowded when I have 5 tabs open.
Just last week I closed over a thousand tabs, I regularly close over 700.
:(
There are tools to recover tabs out of old sessions, I have used them a few times.
CTRL+SHIFT+T: Open recently closed tab.
Can be hit as much as you like.
Help. I can’t find the ctrl button on my phone.
It is next to the Windows key.
The day I learned this changed my life, and I love teaching it to coworkers and friends, it lights up their brains.
Someone also needs to teach the OP to use CTRL+H.
Hence why I have session restore enabled.
So I can have my 1519 tabs back.
Like any normal person.
…this is what normal people do… right?
Many years ago I once had almost 10 000 tabs open at some point. Today I only have a few hundred tabs open like an average person. :)
Seems totally normal to me. Yep.
Start every day new. Who the hell even looks through 700 tabs? Your search bar will recommend the website you clicked on previously, so if searchability is the issue, it’s somewhat moot.
I can’t work out if it’s a symptom of ADHD or OCD. I’m leaning more on the OCD side for this kind of behaviour
Ctrl, Shift + T
Don’t work for windows of past sessions that didn’t reopen.
At least on Firefox there’s a list of recently closed windows you can access and restore
Not if you didn’t reopen it. It only goes back 1 session.
yeah, or you can just press ctrl+shift+n
Right… 55… Thats how many tabs I totally have… 😅😭
(Right now I’m at 470, which is pretty low for me. I have a problem. I honestly dont know what’s wrong with me.)
People think I’m crazy too, similar number of tabs.
But History no longer works in so many browsers… it only lasts 30 days… and bookmarks are not suggested properly in the search / address bar the same way open tabs are, so it’s wrong, very very wrong, and quite naughty… but this is the way to achieve this specific kind of long-term referencing… with zero effort
Not to proliferate your issue but have you checked out extensions for tab trees in your browser? It let’s you organize all the tabs you want yo keep. I’ve had the extension for years after someone told me about it. Maybe I’ll think about using it today when I get to work and see the 5 or 6 browser instances with 20-40 tabs each I have open on my work pc…
it’s called “if i put it out of sight i’ll forget about it”
Yes, thats my though too when I open stuff in a new tab “for later”. What didn’t get through to my brain yet is that it is then out of sight (lost among hundreds of other tabs “for later”)
I’ve been using Firefox’s tab pinning function and it’s wonderful. Whether you close your browser or your computer ends up shutting off for whatever reason, your tabs are all saved.
However, I found out the hard way that if you open a second window and then close the the one with all your pinned tabs you lose all of them… 😳😢
Why not just use bookmarks
History > Recently closed window
