Locking this post. Pretty sure everything that's needed to be said has been said so threads are devolving.

Tab Stash people, its the perfect extension for tab hoarders like me. It saves and closes all your opened tabs as bookmarks with a single click, and gives you a neat view of everything you saved.

Should have used OneTab

My dad does this, he allways restores his tabs and hardly ever use bookmarks.

I had to help him migrate this shitshow to his new computer, and whenever it breaks he gets really upset.

He likes being able to have access to the history of every tab.

I may be an IT guy but I could not stand doing this.

This instance demonstrates Firefox’s memory management capabilities, which put unused tabs to sleep to save memory via Tab Unloading. Mozilla released this feature with Firefox 93 in October 2021

This has been a thing since at least 2012.

And there's literally dedicated extensions to tracking open tabs for you

Been there, done that. 😓

(Though a couple times I was able to recover them or a sufficiently close session.)
