    How short term are you actively using all 100 tabs?

    My workflow is also primarily keyboard-based. I don’t even use many bookmarks. Hotkeys to open new tabs or move the cursor to the address bar, and type like 3 letters of the site I want to go to before autocomplete knows what I want. Easier to me than having to maintain/remember the order of tabs.

      How short term are you actively using all 100 tabs?

      This session is almost one year old and on my private laptop. At work I used to juggle three projects so sometimes I had three windows with up to 30-40 tabs. Effectively they remain about 5 workdays project wise. I use it as a short-term memory: While on call, open tab with workload, write it down on paper and queue it.

      Best thing is to finally close all that crap and get to a tab I wanted to read for my own.

      I don’t even use many bookmarks.

      Me neither. Had to tweak the urlbar in about:config though.

      … or move the cursor to the address bar, …

      That’s ctrl_G right? I tend to close + open the tab to get to the address bar and then restore the closed tab. Is there a more quicker way to get into the address bar than said binding?

      Easier to me than having to maintain/remember the order of tabs.

      It’s reliable and muscle memory. Its perfect for short interruptions and and then resume where I have left.

        In Firefox (and Chrome, I think?) Ctrl+L is what gets you into the address bar.
