in case you're not aware: modern browsers don't actually keep all tabs loaded all the time.
Shhhh don't make us feel old.

In this I wish Firefox was more like Chromium. I use tab search a lot and Ctrl + Shift + A is much more efficient than this 3-step combo
Maybe something like this?

- will let you search your bookmark.
I think there might be one for history as well.
Plus there might be a similar macro in Firefox I just don't know about
- will let you search your bookmark.

Meanwhile when I was looking for a new browser a bit back I tried finding one without a tab feature at all lol
I believe, you can basically turn it off in Firefox, by telling it to open new windows instead of tabs.
Might need to hide the tab bar via
userChrome.css, though... -

But ye, I have my browser set to launch a new window. Not on firefox tho, I switched off of it cause I didn't care to mess with files just to get the tab bar off of my screen lol

can I watch an intervention for a tab addict

There are search in tab title extensions around, if your herding extension for the thousands of tabs not already supports that.
Pretty sure Firefox can search for open tabs directly from the Awesome Bar out of the box. Can't remember the specific character that activates that filter on the bar. Maybe ^ or ~

surely bookmark exist, why not bookmark your opened page ?
i remembered my old friend who has tons of chrome tab filled with porn -
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.Ok that's incredible. I'm gonna get so lost now I've changed that setting. Magnificent

treestyle tabs helps a lot with tab organization. Reasonably amount of tabs can't really be managed with the default tab interface of any browser (haven't tried the recently added native vertical tabs yet - they also added in tab groups, which I was heavily relying on before they ripped it out a bit over a decade ago. Not sure if I'll find back to my old workflow after all that time, though)
People really reinvent things like a bookmark manager.

It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.

I haven't really used bookmarks for probably close to two decades, for various reasons.
Keeping them synchronized always was a pain, and that was before you got into multiple browsers. That part at least is better now.
Then the interfaces to manage them sucked - I did try a bit back then to manage them externally, but the storage formats also were stupid.
And then I seemed to have reached the number of bookmarks the browsers no longer were able to handle (presumably due to the shitty way they were storing them), and adding or editing bookmarks always included several seconds between clicks to wait for the browser to react.
Pretty much everything apart from the first point is still true for the built in bookmark managers.

-
What do browsers even let you do this? I feel like it should cap out at like 200 max. Nobody even needs 200 but there's got to be some kind of limit somewhere.

Would Jesus' bookmark be shaped like a cross (morbid) or a fish (practical)?

And tabs management is somehow better? I dont even wrap my head around that you'd have more bookmarks that it slows the browser but yet think that many tabs wouldnt?

Well, one thing is that I have significantly less tabs than I had bookmarks. My bookmarks where somewhere high in the 5-figure range, maybe even 6 figure.
My heaviest used system has less than 10k tabs open.
It's not ideal, but the tab trees in treestyle tabs mean I usually can just scroll a short bit and click to find what I need.
Ideal would be a fully external bookmark manager - but browsers don't have APIs for that, so you'd have to end up writing an extension just to talk to your external management solution, and since they gimped the firefox plugin system about a decade ago you don't really have any useful APIs for doing that. (I'm current maintainer of the emacs keybindings extension for firefox, it's a hot mess to get a fraction of the functionality that was possible with the old extension system working. No idea why they don't offer the ability to do custom keybindings)
