Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

Or just use bookmarks like a normal person

Bookmarks are for really important stuff. Open tabs are for stuff I want to be able to easily stumble back upon, but I won't be butthurt if I dont.

There's nothing wrong with having more than one way to categorize stuff.

Edit: and considering that session data is also written to disk, there really isn't much difference between bookmarks and open tabs anyway.

There is, when your way consumes resources absurdly.

It doesn't. When you reset it, they take very little resources until you actually load them.

Most non-technical users do this and then complain to IT because their computer doesn't work well. That resource is wasted.
