It might be faster, but more importantly, it stopped freezing when I got 10 tabs open. I used to get stuck and have to shut down FF more than once a day, now after 4 days I'm only mildly slowed down for a little while.

Even before Quantum, I never had it stop freezing when I had ten or more tabs open.

I only shutdown Firefox when I need to reboot the machine, which is rarely. I've been using Firefox since it's phoenix days.

If I look back in Session Manager's history, my high water mark was 424 tabs open, spread across 9 windows. Firefox was quite brittle under those conditions.

Exactly. 423 was 1 short. ;-) Since then, I've closed out multiple projects and I'm down to a much more reasonable 38 at the moment, and I could close some of those, as well.

Even before Quantum, I never had it stop freezing when I had ten or more tabs open. Are you sure there aren't one too many negatives in your sentence? Or are you saying Quantum made it worse? I don't remember what Quantum is. I thought that was the most recent thing. Indeed. That's my default behaviour; I currently have 30 tabs open. I only shutdown Firefox when I need to reboot the machine, which is rarely. I've been using Firefox since it's phoenix days. If I look back in Session Manager's history, my high water mark was 424 tabs open, spread across 9 windows. Firefox was quite brittle under those conditions. Yes indeed. To answer a later question, some tabs I read and I'm done with, but some are sooo long or not so long but they bore me and I can never finish reading them. Yet I don't want to give up on them. Some I really could close but so many new tabs have been opened since then that I never get back to them to close them. Right now I have 5 windows open, but it was really supposed to just be one window with 4 tabs, finish them and open the other group in the first tab. Sometimes I go through the list of old tabs and uncheck ones I don't need -- this was easier with Session Manager because the page was full-width and I could figure out what the tab contained, but it's harder now. I think the purpose of the Pocket was to remove tabs from taking up RAM, but still remind me I had them, but I've never used it. I think if I put a tab in my Pocket, I'd just forget it.
