I was using Opera since years when I finally started using FF3 after its launch. With some nice add-ons I became more inclined towards firefox. But what I hated about FF3 was it died with 100-120 open tabs on my 2GB RAM while Opera easily chewed 200+ tabs. After some tweaking (not with the ini settings but the addons, i removed some of them), I have reached this. Take a look above the search bar that shows number of tabs I have currently opened. I ran out of links.

This wasn't a one off activity, I tried it once more and broke my previous best.

Congratulations.

On a personal level, 100 tabs is pure B.S., regardless of browser. (no offence to you/your net habits/your PC)

I think I heard my PC (with it's 256mb of RAM) laughing when I said aloud "200 tabs!!!". I swear I did. Let's see if I can make it do it again.

All except the first tab had images in it. A click and all the required images were saved and the tabs were closed. No Offence Taken :D

I guess the second thumb, I uploaded isn't displayed properly (521 tabs) in it

WTF!!! 100+ tabs ???

even those who were into developing FF/Opera wouldn't have even thought that there would be user who'd be opening out 100+ tabs !!!

PS : you open so many for your regular use or you just wanna test the browsers or is it just to boast off here??

my max tab cound would be around 24.

200 is just insanely utilizing opera or FF or any browser for that matter ;)

I have a 19" and 40-60 tabs is nothing out of the ordinary. Opera's best feature is Control-Z :)

200 tabs ? I have 256MB RAM, but yeah, I DO go 30 tabs sometimes. But 200 is too much,

I think I heard my PC (with it's 256mb of RAM) laughing when I said aloud "200 tabs!!!". I swear I did. Let's see if I can make it do it again.
Hey! My comp just did that. No prices for guessing my config.

This wasn't a test or something but when I start leeching on something, I get crazy (do I need to say that again, I already proved it).
