The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs

Ok let's say you remember seeing something on a tab but couldn't remember which one it was on. How do you even begin to find that tab? With 1000 files on my file system I have any number of ways of searching not only the filenames, but also the contents of the files, visualizations based on size of the files, etc etc. I don't think it's a good comparison.

So what do you suggest is a better way to find the information, that would end up being less total work for the user?

I don't think the person you're replying to was referring so much to implementation details, but rather more to function for the user. What if the browser had better support for finding items that are open in tabs?

Given the limits of human memory, I wonder how many of those 1,000 tabs are duplicates?
