Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
I'll have a lot of tabs open with documentation and such as I'm working on things, but at the end of the day they are all either bookmarked if I need to continue the next day, or closed as I close my browser.
Then we have people like one of the consultants we have, that has 100+ tabs open, in several browser windows (different profiles), at all times. I wonder how much money we've wasted on him just by waiting for him to find the right tab when he wants to show us something in meetings...
Simple tab groups in Firefox. Makes it easy, has a search bar, etc.
Invaluable when you have a ton of projects.
That dude is just slow and doesn't understand his tools. I have several thousand tabs open and it takes all of half a second to jump to any one of them. FF allows you to search open tabs just by using the address bar. Let's say you're researching camera lenses and you have 5 youtube videos open, several forum posts, the lens maker's website open, and a bunch of different sales websites like adorama and b&h open. Do you literally bookmark those and close them all to end your day and then just reopen them the next? Why not just leave them open. FF handles it fine.
