How Many Tabs is Too Many?

You know how in Firefox when you accidentally hit the close window button a dialog pops up that basically says: "Dude you are about to close 5 tabs! Do you really want to do this?"

Well the other day I accidentally hit the close window button and a dialog popped up that said (and I'm not making this up) "You are about to close 198 tabs! Do you really want to do this?"

This may explain why I had to go out and by more RAM yesterday.

Dude, you normally have a lot of tabs open, but 198!?!

Maybe your multiple profiles are getting out of hand. I am proud to say that I only have 11 tabs open on my desktop. And 9 tabs on my iPad. And 6 on my iPhone. Oops, maybe I have a problem too.

I had wondered why my browser took so long to restart.

I was reading about the upcoming Tab Candy for Firefox the other day... I wondered who would need such a thing but perhaps you're the target market :-)

I had read about Tab Candy earlier and was really impressed by what they are trying to do. Unfortunately I suspect it would drive my PC to its knees.

As is often the case, it's not clear where the boundary is for too many tabs.

But at 198, you're clearly way over it.
