I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

I'm not judging you, because I'm sure it works for you and makes sense to you, but to me, that way of using a browser sounds like rubber-padded-cell-grade insanity.

[–] JasSmith@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I can only speak for myself, but it's often a kind of to-do list. The tabs stay open until I've completed the tasks.

I have at least one Firefox window open on each of about five workspaces, each with anothing up to twenty or thirty tabs open. It's not insanity at all, no way, not at all. What's that nurse? It's time for my dried frog pills? Well ok then.

I am sorry to do this to you, but I have minimum of 30 tabs open at all times. Send help.

Currently have 5 windows open with 10-30 tabs each. Use them all everyday. Easier to keep tabs open then dig through bookmarks.

That is the purpose of having tabs and multiple windows. They can sit unused until needed.

Because I'm continuously using them when I work, it's emails, calendar and chat. They always stay there, the rest varies.
