So, I'm getting out of control. I have about 500 hobbies/interests and I'm always digging up info on something so I'm all over the place. Currently between email, forums, craigslist, crap I'm searching on google, etc. I've got 26 tabs open. Thank God for cheap memory :roll: That's pretty standard. A little on the low side even. I'm sure someone here can beat that. Whada ya got?

3 windows
5, 4, and 6 tabs

I think it gets too cluttered if using only one window with about 8+ tabs

Wouldn't take much memory to handle 26 web pages if Firefox wasn't a piece of shit that leaked memory faster than the Titanic.

I often have 50+ tabs open across several browser windows, but it's not uncommon for me to have to restart Firefox because it decides to use a ridiculous amount of memory or 100% of one of my cores' processing time.

Yeah, Firefox does kind of suck. I wish I liked Opera, but I don't. I'd rather blow and elephant than use IE so... Maybe there's some new uber leet browser out there. I don't know what it is, though.

3 tabs. I normally don't go above like... 8. I close the windows I don't need open.

Probably about 60. I have a few windows open and normally have at least 15 tabs per window.

1 window, 6 tabs

2 tabs are laptop reviews, 3 tabs are world of warcraft stuff that I'm leaving open so that I remember them tomorrow (it's a couple items I want to make and recipes I want to farm for), and ATOT.

I have 3 windows open with about 150 tabs combined. :)

I -hate- having to close/re-open firefox. Reloading the whole set takes forever.

Edit: I should add that on any given day, I only interact with about 20 or so of my tabs.

Five now in two windows - have had ~75 in multiple windows. Try to keep the desktop clean - if only I could do that with the rest of the house...
