"In the past"? I can reproduce this on my daily driver today.

Why do I need to change my workflow because Firefox got worse at what I've used it for for years? If I have to change the way I work, why not change browsers too? If there's a tab limit beyond which Firefox can't effectively control itself, why is that not a hard coded limit?

My time is not. 32Gb is a monstrous amount of RAM for a desktop, there's no reason reason for tabs to be randomly dying with memory issues.

Ok, but I've been using firefox for years without that much ram and never had an issue. You should give it a try and stop believing the hype.

Firefox can cope with tab hoarding pretty well, so long as they're not all pinned or anything and you restart your browser every so often.
