Full time Firefox user. I run hundreds of tabs for days on end and need to restart it every week or so. Well worth it to not use Chrome. Need to open a site in Chrome about once a month

The upcoming version has "Unload tabs" built in to the context menu. That should result in restarts limited to updates.

I use the Auto Discard Tabs plug-in, just lets tabs time-out after a set amount of time

I've used Firefox for years and it very rarely crashes. Individual tabs will crash occasionally, but rarely the entire browser.
