You could also use the BarTab extension — it allows you to unload tabs at will and even start the browser with just one tab active and others grayed out until you actually click them.

Lou K, just install the FF FlashBlock extension, and don't load the Flash until you're actually going to view it. That made FF infinitely more usable for me, as I generally have about 50 tabs open all the time. Flash is the killer; JS is generally ok I've found, once Flash was handled.

@Lou K. Saw Ff xt #9429 here at LH: http://tinyurl.com/5vuhjl Was primed for picking a potential solution up after I had previously sought to find one in vain.

Subsequent citation should appeal to you: “… every tab you push to the TooManyTabs row frees up memory by turning the tabs you shelve into idle tabs”

My problem isn’t so much RAM usage but CPU – I usually keep between 60-80 tabs open and somewhere in there are a bunch of javascript and flash scripts running continuously. It’d be nice if one could “put them to sleep”, as described here –

and I added a bit more here, adding another potential solution –
