“Hazel,” a self-described “tab hoarder,” kept 7,500 tabs open for two years. Then Firefox refused to restore the session. [techspot.com] https://www.techspot.com/news/102871-zero-regrets-firefox-power-user-kept-7500-tabs.html

@mitchw I apparently had enough tabs open earlier today to crash Xorg (the windowing system on top of Linux). Not just Firefox, but the underlying graphical subsystem. I think there's a memory leak in Firefox for Linux that loses some memory irretrievably every time you open a tab, even if you later close the tab. I haven't tested this.

My Firefox has been using a ton of memory, it must be one of the sites I've left open a while.
