Have to agree: For me firefox performance is much better. I currently have 413 tabs open, use a 3 year old lenovo laptop, everything works flawless and is responsive, unlike chrome.
Why not? That's the way I use the web. If i need it at some point the next week I don't close it.
I usually bookmark (^D) and tag everything that I think I'm gonna need in the future, then I look for it by typing the tag/s in the address bar.
Why not? Because finding an open tab is an O(N) problem, whereas searching bookmarks is O(1).
Its not you can search your open tabs in firefox. I also maintain sets through tab groups that allow me to bring up several things that I'm working on with out having to type in several urls.
what tab addon do you use?
Not op, but I just use the built-in one. On OS X, press CMD+shift+e and you'll get a overview of tab groups, you can create new groups, etc. I have a "main" group (the default one) and one group per pet project, subject, etc. I tend to use these instead of bookmarks, since they stay around even if the browser crashes.
Tab Groups are great. Its one of my favorite Firefox features.
