Firefox’s speed with large numbers of tabs leaves Chrome in the dust

Easy recipe to accumulate tabs:

  - make a habit of Ctrl+T before googling something
  - open all outgoing links in new background tabs
      so you can continue reading the current page
  - leave several pages of reference material open
     (e.g. docs, issue trackers, random blog posts relevant to whatever you're doing)
  - open links that someone sends you to work on them later

And once the inevitable distraction hits you you might forget closing some.

I have all of these habits, yet my number of open tabs never goes over ~20. I just garbage-collect often :)
