Don't work for windows of past sessions that didn't reopen.
At least on Firefox there's a list of recently closed windows you can access and restore

Hence why I have session restore enabled.
So I can have my 1519 tabs back.
Like any normal person.
...this is what normal people do... right?
Many years ago I once had almost 10 000 tabs open at some point. Today I only have a few hundred tabs open like an average person. :)
Seems totally normal to me. Yep.

55 tabs, that's cute.
1337
Mobile has at least 2000 tabs. (Tell Firefox to open on a new tab. Also told Firefox to not delete old tabs. About 2 years at least)
Trying to send to desktop to sort out. Crashes (both mobile and desktop) at around 1300 tabs too.
55…?
555?
I think I'm closer to 5555....
I think in both FF and Chrome you can just go to menu, history and then recently closed windows.
Control + Shift + T (reopen closed tab)
Usually that opens the whole window, or just press that 55+ times
Ctrl + Shift + N in Firefoxen will reopen an entire closed window. Handy if you have multiple windows open but only closed one. Related to Ctrl + N for a new window.

History->restore recently closed
Alexandria gets rebuilt
For Firefox Ctrl, Shift + D, it bookmarks all of your open tabs in a new folder.
Do it every week? Wish I could know how to make it do itself everyday.
My life just lost all its risk.
Too bad the Ancients didn't know about right-click "Reopen burned library"
I'll never understand why so many people keep so many tabs open, When I find something worthy of revisit I just bookmark the website, or I just visit and close the tab when I'm done.
Could someone explain this to me? is it a generational thing (I grew up in the 90s)?
Ah, that is because you seem to have only two tiers of tab value, worth revisiting and not. There is a middle tier of "to be considered for evaluation when I have time". THAT is what all those extra tabs are for :) The crux of course is that there is rarely time to fully look at all those tabs, so they accumulate. As you can tell, I frequently suffered from this situation. My solution was to use an RSS reader so I could just leave the potential tab unread and save all the memory (that Sam Altman is currently salivating for).

I never understood why people would keep so many tabs open. Is it a chrome habit? Like you let your browser keep them open because it's the default setting? You can search history. I feel dirty if I have more than 20 open, and it means I was productive.
It's a FOMO hoarding thing or ADHD thing. People place great value on their passing interests. They see something like "oh that would be good to read/watch" and the tab structure becomes a kind of combined to-do and reminder list. Closing the tab feels like giving up, forgetting, or losing an opportunity. If the tab is still there, there's still an opportunity. Bookmarks don't work because it's out of sight/out of mind.
This isn't an argument for keeping so many tabs. It's an explanation. People will still feel the weight of so many things on their list and they really should just let them go. They'll feel lighter and they won't miss it (except for when they do) 👀
Wouldn't be able to handle it.
My browser clears everything every time I close it. Like sessions, logins, history, cookies, ...
If I need it I will be able to find it again. Or I create a bookmark. That is what you're supposed to do anyway.
I can fill the tab row and after that every tab decreases efficiency. If I can type where to go faster than I can find the old tab, what is the point.

Settings > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs
Doesn't help if you have another browser window open, though you can get the window back from history, at least in Firefox based browsers
55 tabs, that is some serious gooning. If it is not private/incognito tabs this would not be an issue...
History > restore previous session
55 is rookie numbers
My Firefox session is so big I sometimes have to restore it manually because clicking Restore Session simply makes my browser crash
No joke. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup
I have tabs there that I haven't seen in a year

I love that this thread is about 1/3 "55? pfft that's nothing", 1/3 "just close em, if it matters you can find it again later", and 1/3 "well here's how you get that window back ezpz"
That's why I use a tab stashing addon on my browser.
:)
Did you know that at some point Firefox switches from displaying a number of tabs to a lil infinity sign?
