After the same happened to me two times with about 700 pages open, I've found that there is an addon for Firefox which alleviates that problem. It's called Session Manager.
Why would you even need 700 pages open? O_o

Like I could see someone maybe having like 10 tabs, or even like 15, but once you get over that I don't exactly see what you could be viewing. Like maybe 4 forums, 5 social sites, a chat window, maybe a couple of pages for a job/school and 1-2 wikipedia pages? Any more then that and it seems to me like you just have a problem closing things when you are done with them (or you have horrible internet and have just decided to save everything ever because it takes to long to reload pages).

A lot of Firefox users seem to use the saved session tabs as bookmarks...

I have 12 Bay12 tabs (don't even think about telling me about the recent posts feature. It doesn't work for me, many tabs does), my university e-mail, 5 tabs relating to 2 games (one of which is barely a game and more of a worldbuilder thing for me).

In my main window. I usually have 2-3 others, depending. Couple of tabs for Quora, Wikipedia space, at least one dedicated to Atomic Rockets, a few university online tabs, a couple of youtube tabs (and a chrome window available for when youtube fucks up on firefox - again)...

Use bookmarks? That's sort of what they're for.

Or, you know, the history function in your browser, since that's literally what it is designed to do :P? I know that the Safari one on my mac will even search page-text now (and my chrome history will sometimes do it as well).

I hate how everybody wants you to join.

You go to a store, they want you to become a member. No thank you, Target, I don't need you failing to secure my personal data. I'm just buying some overpriced freezerburned flavorless ice cream you're selling because you're the only store nearby - we do not need to bring ink and paper into this, much less have you keep track of all my damn purchases.

You go to a website, they want you to sign up for an account. Takes time, whatever. Then, IMDB wants me to hand them my fucking telephone number or credit card number? WTF? It feels like a Nigerian Prince scam. I was just trying to make a post in response to a guy afraid that a brief titty scene in a movie will be too much for his teenagers, helpfully alerting him to the fact that his teenagers view hardcore porn on the Internet twice a day (and if they vigorously deny it, they're doing it 3+ times a day). And this isn't uncommon: Hotmail kept trying to tell me I needed to give it a cell number ... for my own protection, of course.

You go to a company's website to apply for a job. They want you to upload your resume, but then the software they use to read your resume and translate it into their database fields is a shabby POS and most of the fields are empty. Then they expect you to fill in every little box, spending 30+ minutes on this turkey. My most recent fiasco with Macy's (I'm a highly educated and experienced yet desperate man at this point) resulted in them asking me what my fucking favorite color was, and my favorite season. Figuring this is some bullshit voodoo interview technique they use because actual questions are hard to ask, I search on it to figure out how they will interpret my answer - and when I switch back to the application tab it's timed out and lost all my progress. An hour lost. I will resort to a hell of a lot of vile things to pay my bills before I ever try to use Macy's website again. Is it too much to ask that the employer either (A) hire people to read resumes, (B) get good resume-scrounging software, (C) ask only the minimum questions necessary, or (D) import from a centralized resume service that everyone else uses - such as if LinkedIn had a resume export feature that resulted in a text file that the employer's system knows how to import?

Is it too much to ask that the transaction between me and you just be money for goods or services? Can't I just not provide that extra little bit of market research data, that extra little bit of revenue from selling my personal information? This is completely beside the point that I fucking hate marketing and everything it stands for - do not try to guess the best way to sell to me, just make the features and price of the item available and I will make a fucking decision.

Check this out: when I applied for my first college loans, the data entry slave who processed my paperwork mistook my middle initial. Now when I get junk mail I know when it's the college or the bank who sold my info to that company.

---

When you go to a concert you expect to participate in exactly the way you desire. If you want into the mosh pit, you get in, but if you don't, nobody will force you. And if you go into the mosh pit, you realistically expect to not get raped. I want to participate in our economy and communications, but I want to do the (quite basic and legal) things I want to do without being tracked, probed, and assaulted. But it feels like right now it's either opt-in or opt-out, and the world is slowly becoming a place where you can't opt-out without disconnecting from society in a way I'm not comfortable doing.

Basically: stop trying to decode the wrinkles on my balls, FFS. I just want to keep warm in the cold shadow of my inevitable death.

... if y'all are really doing the tabs thing for the nth time, you can give the forum a search for the other dozen times it's come up. Think the latest one before this was in the WTF thread? Seriously, if you're wondering why various people approach tabs in various ways, it's been brought up several times. The answers lay in forum history.

Now excuse frumple while frumple goes back to managing a couple hundred tabs. I actually tidied up fifty or so just recently...

Though @ Leo, that's actually an interesting idea. Mildly (and deniably) misspell your name when you do paperwork, so you can track who's sold your info to who.

Ahhh, but are they in my browser history? Maybe if I used 800 tabs instead I'd know! XD

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P

I never really receive any junk mail either, though I know people who do. On the other hand if you are lucky enough to live in Canada they have a pretty simple opt-out of all unaddressed junk mail with a single letter process, though sadly the US doesn't have anything like that.

Memory too much to handle?

...I'm fairly sure my recall's above average, though, so I may be underestimating the difficulty of keeping track of stuff.
