Nothing much. The biggest consumer could be tampermonkey but the last script I was using has been disabled for a while. I am using multiple profiles though, which could be a problem. My non primary provide gets reaped more than the primary. I'll try cutting down the number of cores it can use and see if that does anything.

What's the use case for 1000+ tabs? Just curious.
It's like temporary bookmark really - something that I want to read today.
I just don't close tabs that often as I should, I forget I wanted to read or I get distracted etc.
And I don't force close tabs when closing the browser.
I am a tab junky (regularly > 200+ tabs, sometimes 1000+) and Firefox never died, and it is used on a laptop that has also IntelliJ + java apps which use quite a big chunk of memory.
You might consider reducing number of processes used by Firefox, I set it to 3 even when I have 4 cores available, it helps reduce memory usage.
Linux with 16GB of RAM.
