we have firefox on an old c2d era dual core, 8gb ram and now (had 7, and originally 4gb ram) win10. 170+ tabs currently, always restored on relaunches (which are infrequent). system never gets shut off–updates are ‘managed’, always left on, with firefox running, to sleep with that massive tab collection open. runs like a champ. only once in the last three years has that session been lost or any other issue been encountered (we’ve since added a session saver addon but haven’t needed it).
Idk man, maybe you have the fluke, maybe it’s a problem that arises on newer CPUs, maybe it’s a conflict with another common piece of software I install. Either way, it’s happened multiple times over multiple systems over multiple configurations and OSes. I really don’t have time to fuck with my browser and diagnose it fully, I need it to just be ready to install a couple extensions and hit the ground running
