Maybe I should be happy about Firefox (granted: Beta) being extremely buggy for me when restoring sessions. Just today it killed my equally big list of things I meant to look at again and never did.
There's a saying among people with messy desks: "clean desk, empty mind". Personally I don't mind having so many tabs, but once it affects performance I go and clean them up. Many of the tabs I listed are now gone, and while a few new ones are open, I think I have fewer in aggregate.
Who's the comedian? I have about 300 tabs open, tell me if kippt will help. Personally, I'm curious if there are comedians similar to, or indeed a whole lot more unexpected than, Mitch Hedberg.
