I only mentioned it because chrome makes it feel like it's not a problem. Tabs are big, wide as the screen, and there's only one column. It's easy to browse and find any tab with a few flicks, even when having hundreds of tabs. Switching through these tabs is fast, way faster than firefox's UI allows, and that's the point I'm getting at, that there's much improvement that can be made over firefox's mobile UI.

It's a weird thing to me too. I've worked with developers that have hundreds of tabs open (not using 99% of them), and they whinge and moan about performance.

Just stop opening so many tabs?

I do that all the time. I research something broadly, resulting in a reasonable tab tree. Then I use one or a few of the results, pinboard some of them and keep them open in case I need to reference them again.

Why not? I'm using Firefox. A couple of hundred tabs is no big deal it seems :-)

Please don't slam other people's web browsing preferences. You have no idea what forces you're messing with there.
