I run 60 tabs in Firefox atm, takes 2.14GB (obviously I'm using Tree Style Tabs). Runs smoothly.

I'm at 204 with about 1 GB of usage. Firefox is great with many tabs http://www.techradar.com/news/firefoxs-blazing-speed-with-hu...

I've become a big fan of "The Great Suspender" extension since I am always opening new tabs in the background and may not get around to them until hours -- or sometimes days! -- later.

On Chrome I presume? Not available on FF, and afaik FF doesn't even support unloading tabs (actually unloading from memory rather than making it appear that way but still consuming the memory).

Ahhh, yes, on Chrome, sorry. I didn't realize it wasn't also available for FF.

Here's mine (fx55): http://i.cubeupload.com/AvH2Cc.png profile1: 6 windows, ~900 tabs; profile2: 2 windows, ~300 tabs. cold start takes about 2 minutes (on nvme ssd), next are slightly better. Startup time improvements were supposed to be in 55, right?
