Full time Firefox user. I run hundreds of tabs for days on end and need to restart it every week or so. Well worth it to not use Chrome. Need to open a site in Chrome about once a month





I've used Firefox for years and it very rarely crashes. Individual tabs will crash occasionally, but rarely the entire browser.

The upcoming version has "Unload tabs" built in to the context menu. That should result in restarts limited to updates.

I use the Auto Discard Tabs plug-in, just lets tabs time-out after a set amount of time
