      If you keep 1000 tabs open, maybe. Otherwise, it’s not too bad.

          Guess it also depends on your system. I pretty routinely keep several hundred firefox tabs open with no issues … but I’ve got 80GB of RAM to go around, so it’s fine.

      The Firefox memory hog issue is worse if you use Windows
