For the record (because I just looked it up, as I also have this problem): it’s
ctrl+tab, but only if you enable “Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order” in Settings first.Default behavior is for psychopaths.
I’m so confused every time I use a new browser.
Isn’t it
alt + left? I could swear I’ve done it before (but maybe not on Firefox…?)That’s the back button
My brain can’t handle more than a dozen open tabs. If I need more than 8 or so, I’ll sling some in another browser instance. I honestly don’t know if this is because I’m dumb or smart, but at my last jobs the smarter people always had about 2 dozen tabs open. LOL, no one ever rebooted.
I work with someone who never closes a tab. They’ll just keep plowing ahead until they literally have to reboot their computer for lack of resources. Physical clutter doesn’t bother me much, but I have to look away when they share their screen.
I had a user that did this with outlook emails all the time. Since she was in leadership, we had to put up with it. At one point we even had to escalate it to Microsoft and they came back saying that Outlook is simply not designed to be used in such a fashion. That did not dissuade the user at all. After maxing out the computer specs, she ended up exceeding the actual limitation of the software for resources used.
I think eventually she got fired for incompetence for other things. It was quite a relief.
For other things? That just speaks to the incompetence of the morons above her…
Firefox tabs survive reboots and waste about as much resources as a bookmark. Those people should really migrate.
You can set Firefox to purge everything when you close it, not sure why its not set as default
clearly they need more RAM
i know that you’re suffering but, still, thanks for the laughter ! @[email protected]
Best start a new tab and Google whatever you were looking at.
This is why tab search is a thing 😭
But all I remember is that it was a possibly interesting page about the problem I’m dealing with. I have 42 tabs open on the same site, and none of them have useful names. If I google it I’ll end up with about 52 uselessly names tabs.
It is cathartic closing an entire window fullof tabs when the problem is dealt with though. You can almost hear the machine sigh as it releases a big chunk of memory.
Crtl + L to go to address bar, type % then a space, then the tab you looking for. Will search open tabs
Helpful, but only works if I remember the name of the tab.
It’s either Facebook or Facebook.
Or TvTropes
That seems perfectly reasonable. That is little more than 100 tabs per window. I routinely have more than 500 tabs per window. Currently, I have 3 windows open with a rough total of 15000 tabs
Why?
ADHD is like that.
No, it’s really not. That’s a gross inability to let things go, not forgetting you found something intersting once.
Fine AD4K is like that.
How much ram do they have?
in case you’re not aware: modern browsers don’t actually keep all tabs loaded all the time.
all of it
I was wondering why I couldn’t find mine. I figured I just had short term memory loss.
This is the way.
probably shift-command-tilde, since command-tilde is “next tab”. You can remember it because it’s one key away from command-tab and shift-command-tab to go to the next application and previous application.
Meanwhile when I was looking for a new browser a bit back I tried finding one without a tab feature at all lol
@[email protected] is that an actual issue for you?
Is that you Scott?
