Re: 200 tabs!

@ Unicornpiss @RichUK

I do indeed use plugins to help ... currently have seven tab groups, one is misc the rest are specific to a set of ongoing work. Every now and again I go through and sanitise it and might manage to get it down to a hundred or so. You'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it.

Re: Chrome

I would guess it's probably because every time you use google search they push Chrome in your face. Personally, I use FF on both windows and Android (well ... I actually use the Dev version Aurora on both - often with 200+ tabs open on windows at work) and they both work great.

Even have the missus using FF on her phone - she regularly has 50+ tabs open while she is browsing Amazon and such like with only very rare problems.

As others have mentioned, it's also good to install uBlock or similar.

Mozilla burns Firefox on old Androids

I use Aurora (developer Firefox - sits slightly ahead of the main releases too) and here are a couple of options I have found useful as replacements for the old Tab Groups feature:

Simplified Tab Groups

Tab Groups (yes, same name as the original feature)

All hail Firefox Dev Edition 44 – animations, memory and all

Re: It's great but...

Might I suggest "Tabs Group Helper". It works with the latest FF Dev (I'm using it now)
