weather, two work chats, gmail, hnews, personal mail, 2 fediverse accounts, current work tabs (currently at a low 8 for that), then the ones that change hourly, social media, youtube, wikipedia, searches, etc.

Tabs are really starting to bug me, i've tried a few tree tab managers and the ones i tried just don't work. I don't have a better solution. multiple windows is potentially bad news, as a crash may lose tabs you had open, even with a tab session manager. That is if you load several tabs in a new window and the computer or firefox crashes / reboots, you could lose history, cookies, possibly your old window layouts, etc. Tab session managers help a bit, by keeping consistently open tabs saved somewhere, but it doesn't help with new tabs and new windows if there's a crash.



Have you tried simple tab groups? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr...

Also it kinda solves the new window problem, as long as the new window is set to one of the tab groups (closing the window doesn't delete the tab group).

Also afaik when firefox crashes and is set to recover tabs, it should recover all the windows as well as the tabs.
