I have hundreds of open tabs in FF most of the time and rarely close them. I use it a bit like emacs; ignore the "tab bar" and use ctrl-tab (with browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed set to true) or tab search (with %) to jump between them. The only reason I need to clean up my tabs now and then is the RAM usage.

Total Suspender extension is critical if you have lots of tabs open at once.

Not really true any longer, almost all modern browsers will background (unload) tabs when you get more than N windows (or memory % consumption). I think you have to turn that behavior off if you don't want it via about:config chrome://flags
