Oops, I clicked a random tab, now I can’t find my previous tab.

Surely there is a keyboard shortcut to go back where I was ?

Note : I have 2185 tabs open in 21 windows

    Holy crap. Use the Tab Stash extension. Separate tabs into windows and stash the entire window. It will save them all to a group or collection that you can name, and you can go back and reopen them when needed.

    Seriously, I can’t imagine how outdated your browser is if you never close it, not to mention the last time you restarted your computer. You’re one power failure away from chaos.

    If you also get the xBrowserSync extension, you can back up all your bookmarks and tabs so if your computer ever dies you can restore it to a new browser install.

      I restart the browser often. seems to be the only reliable way to free up all the resources it uses and prevent crashes. That does update the browser, I’m on 104.0.4 so I get to enjoy stuff I didn’t ask, changing and the occasional thing breaking. At some point I’ll choose a version I like and freeze it in place and prevent it from updating entirely.

      I also have an addon to merge all windows and another to order all tabs by their domain name.

      Once in a while I’ll dump everything into book marks (and never open them again, since bookmark are basically impossible to effectively search).

      I tried “tab stash” and just ended up losing hundreds of “hidden” tabs, it didn’t lighten organizational load, it was just something to manage on top of it all.

      For browser sync, I still use firefox sync, the best I can say about it is that it works, however, there are no want to actually search the content in the sync database. So it’s only for sharing tabs between devices and backup the tabs and bookmarks.
