Firefox is one of the most used browsers in the world. And the reason for this popularity is precisely because it consumes less computer hardware compared to competing browsers. Proof of this is the case of a user who maintained more than 7,400 tabs opened for more than two years.
Hazel, her username on X, formerly Twitter, has had problems recently, when lturned on your PC and saw that all the tabs were not restored. She used social media to ask for help, which ended up revealing her achievement to the world. Fortunately, with the help of the community, Hazel was able to restore everything and her thousands of pages were recovered.
Doesn’t too many open tabs harm your PC?
What many people wondered about Hazel’s case is how much a PC could handle so many tabs open at the same time. According to her, Firefox’s performance remained normal throughout the period. This is because the main page, the one used when browsing, consumes only 70 MB of total RAM, keeping the others on standby and without allocating large resources to it.
Another question is why Hazel has so many tabs open at the same time. For the user, this feature is a kind of step back in time. According to her, Going back to older pages is a way of remembering the exact moment you were reading, or even learning something on a website that is still open.

Shortly after recovering all her precious tabs, Hazel commented, “Thank you to everyone who provided information on how to restore an old session [usando a ferramenta] from the profile cache. I feel like a part of me has been restored.”
Well, at least now the whole world knows that Firefox can handle more than 7,470 open tabs, but what is the browser’s true limit?
