With Tree Style Tabs plus the Awesome bar it is not a problem to handle and it's easy to get up to this number over the day.

Came here to say that. Tree Style Tabs makes ut possible to navigate an unhealthy amount of tabs.
But, so I guess you open links in a new tab and don't bother closing them?

I easily reach a hundred tabs with Tree Style Tabs when researching a topic. The tree structure makes it easy to understand how you've navigated the web and to traceback where you came from. When I found what I've what I was looking for I start closing tabs. The ones that remain is my catch and I save the URLs and/or contents.
Gotcha. Interesting. :-)

Just for completeness:
* Firefox's Awesomebar (the address bar) is much more powerful. Whereas Chromes sends you to google mainly: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-fire...
* Tree Style Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/
There's also Tab Center Redux, for people who already need a better way to handle tabs, but don't need or want to use trees there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-center-re...
Thanks to Firefox's userChrome.css, you can pull pretty nice customized UIs even without any additional extensions :) https://github.com/eoger/tabcenter-redux/wiki/Custom-CSS-Twe...
