I gotta know what it is that you are doing with those tabs, i can't comprehend attempting to use that many. Do you also have some sort of system to keep track of them?

I've got lots of open projects at any given time and jump between them a lot. My system is generally just a window is one project (sometimes multiple windows for one) + 1 or 2 "General" windows

Personally, I have a window with

-Pictures that lead to sites I want to keep up with
-2 manga sites
-A tracker for streams
-2 sites for looking up information for games i'm playing

And a second window with
-A series i'm keeping up with
-2 spreadsheet trackers for games
-a dozen or so youtube pages, most of which are music I want to alternate looping

I feel like it's just one of those things that once you get used to doing, you generally always have a lot of tabs open.

maybe im misunderstanding here but cant you just set bookmarks

Bookmarks lack anything visual to make me think "Oh you know what I want to look at that again"

and in the case of waiting for an upcoming stream if I forget the upcoming stream 8-12 hours later, then i'm usually pretty upset I missed it.

Sure you could just say "Well if you forgot you probably didn't care that much"...but my memory sucks and a lot of it is also meant to destress from a stressful day, which can contribute to forgetting things.

I have like 10,000 bookmarks and I only look at like 5 of them

Up until the web API stuff I was using opera, and it had like...a collage view where you could put a bunch of sites on, with pictures to represent them. That was nice to have. I couldn't find anything similar in the firefox extensions.
