Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

Or just use bookmarks like a normal person

Bookmarks are for really important stuff. Open tabs are for stuff I want to be able to easily stumble back upon, but I won't be butthurt if I dont.

There's nothing wrong with having more than one way to categorize stuff.

Edit: and considering that session data is also written to disk, there really isn't much difference between bookmarks and open tabs anyway.

There is, when your way consumes resources absurdly.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn't. When you reset it, they take very little resources until you actually load them.

[–] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 week ago

Most non-technical users do this and then complain to IT because their computer doesn't work well. That resource is wasted.
