That would cause people like me to completely flip out. If they did that, I would go to any lengths to fix it. Even if they made an obfuscated change deep in the C++ code, I would learn C++ just to fix it if no one else figured it out and posted a patch. There is absolutely no way I could work with 10 tabs. If I really had no choice, I maybe could get by in 20, but I would hate it. With, say, 50, I could work without feeling severely constrained. I haven't not used session restore in, I don't know, 6+ months, but when I do restart Moz without restoring, the first thing I do is open 2 bookmark sets, one is 9 tabs (slashdot, gmail, news, etc.), the other is 19 (webcomics). Then I have a window with sysadmin stuff, and a window full of blog posts that I read at one time or another, and all sorts of misc. tabs opened here and there. >Which would improve workflow and the stop of complaints about >memory usage for quite a lot of users in my opinion. ;-) In my experience, the really heavy tab users usually have no complaints about memory usage. I certainly don't. Under a gig res and under 2 gigs virt in a 4 gig system is very reasonable for the number of tabs I have open. And as I said, it doesn't really increase beyond that, no matter how long I leave all those tabs open, or open and close tabs.
