Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Lost about 800 a few weeks ago from Safari crash again Sounds like someone taking a corner at 200 mph and rolling their eyes when they hit the crash barrier. Not often is the following true, but - you're using that tool wrong.

The crash has nothing to do with 800 tabs. Most of those Tabs are not active. And a crash, whether it has 1 tabs or 10000 tabs that lost the previous sessions is not using the tool wrong.

It wasn't designed for that kind of use, and it's being used that way. There are extensions, bookmarking tools, session savers, other browsers and all of their extensions, which are better able to handle this kind of thing.

I had been looking for a way to "scriptably" sort the Firefox tabs I have open. Unfortunately by cursory glance this would not allow us to change the order of tabs (AKA the index). Very cool idea though and looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

In this post someone mentioned brotab which does exactly that.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
