I have coworkers who do this, then they joke about it and laugh together on zoom calls while their audio/video/screen sharing abilities degrade and crap out one by one.
“I have 143 tabs open, I’m so terrible! Hahahahahahahaha!”
It’s not funny, Susan, you’ve derailed the entire meeting.
Every so many months I’ll “Share all tabs” on my Android Firefox to a text editor with no file size limit (which can take a few minutes just for that), save the file, close all tabs to wipe the slate clean, and never open the file I saved again.
It’s like I’m prepping for the day I win the lottery, and suddenly have as much time for this stuff as I did when I was a kid. But even were that to happen, I’d still have more responsibilities taking up my time than kid me ever did - and I’d still be trying to keep up with new stuff at the same time. sigh
But it’s impossible to know which, and then there are those that won’t be dead yet. For anything I really think is valuable, I use an extension that saves the page to a self-contained HTML file with all the resources packed in.
Besides, we both know I’ll likely never get back to those links…
Leaving firefox tabs open like RAM is free

Most of those links will be dead by the time you get back to them

It’s ok you can just download more RAM
Once a year, Firefox croaks in a way that loses ally tabs and its the worst fucking thing that can possibly happen.
There are session manager extensions that will keep a saved list for you to go back to. This is the one I use.
