Uh, yeah, about that... (We have 2733 tabs open and 26 loaded in memory)
Few weeks ago we got up to 8900~ ish. We were genuinely disappointed we didn't go OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDD. We are very, very familiar with the kinds of bugs Firefox starts to experience as you climb each thousand. It's fascinating actually.
At around 1000 tabs, entering or leaving fullscreen on media starts taking a loooong time. We've had it reach as high as 15 seconds!
As of this time, at around 8070, after you close and reopen Firefox it will start with zero tabs. But, a few months back? Once we closed Firefox, it would crash every single time we tried opening it. It made it nearly impossible to rescue the session itself! We mentioned we reached 8900 open tabs recently. Turns out that, at about 8800 tabs, Firefox starts to become unresponsive and impossible to use. Clicks stop registering, websites stop loading.
About one year ago, when we crossed 8000 we encountered a fun bug! The Zombietab! That time around, when we tried closing a tab, FF would crash, and when we launched it again, the tab we tried to close would still be there!
We know we've encountered at least one other weird edge-case bug, but we are struggling to remember it.
Uh. We do not have a problem do not @ us >w> (Seriously, don't give us flak).
