#332I have no idea why people need 500 tabs open. Like dude I never go beyond 12 tabs on my machine like ever. Aren't you too distracted if you have that many tabs open. Perhaps you should complete the task in some of the tabs and close em?

#333Wow, this is a fantastic feature that was heavily requested, and HN cannot stop being negative. Great job Mozilla. I was already using the awesome “Simple Tab Groups” extension for this but will look into switching.
I've been liking the new vertical tabs too.
I tried using vertical tabs and tab groups simultaneously, but there seems to be nothing like 'list all tabs' / Recent tab groups, so my tab groups are already lost amongst the other tabs. 'close duplicate tabs' is also missing from vertical tabs.
Since I keep having to go into that menu I just disabled vertical tabs.

When you enable vertical tabs, the main toolbar gains a List All Tabs button at the very right.

I tried it! Didn’t stick yet but I’ll probably try it again, probably didn’t give it long enough to get used to it

#336I never have more than like 10 tabs open at a time, so likely wont be helpful to me, but I find this super interesting! Can someone explain what normal people use so many tabs for? It seems to be super common to have tons and tons open. Are people using tabs as a soft bookmark of basically anything interesting? Afraid to close the page because they wont find it in their history or bookmarks? Is this more an issue wit…
Bookmarks are more permanent. Open tabs for me are a physical representation of a task in process. Tabs for a purchase show what needs consideration. Could be options, reviews, learning materials. For a project, tabs might include specific documentation pages, spreadsheets, etc.
Generally, it's tracking the in progress process.
Keeping tabs open for me is a physical token of a path not complete.

Damn, 2k tabs, I’m not familiar with sideberry but with 2k of them are they even right to be called native ‘tabs’ or do they function more like bookmarks? > computational costs are close to zero Is that true for normal Firefox tabs (I usually use chrome/safari) ? Wouldn’t each one still use up some memory, keep any background tasks running etc. If some tab starts playing audio how do you even find it?
They don't consume anything, at my peak I closed 2736 tabs (I have a photo to commemorate). Firefox somehow didn't care
If you don't mind to share it, I'd love to see it. I want to prove to my coworkers I've not got a problem!

Exactly, since the 'list all tabs' is a superset of vertical tab behavior, and I have to go there anyhow for things missing in vertical tabs, I disabled vertical tabs.

Been using vertical tabs to avoid floating toolbar gymnastics while sharing screen on Microsoft Teams. It’s been working great and now I don’t miss the horizontal tabs.

#340Wikipedia has an entire, rather amusing, section on the dangers of tab hoarding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_(interface)#Tab_hoarding
amusing, but true.
