Hazel doesn't close tabs because it's 'like a trip down memory lane.' Mozilla says it has some profile and tab group features coming later this year that might help her organize those memories.
That’s where I finally arrived at. I used to use browser bookmarks a lot, but I realized I either never used them or spent way too much time sorting them (so searching the Internet became faster). I tried history, but that sucks when I have like 100/day.
Tabs work, and Firefox can point to an open tab in the omni-bar, so why not use it? So I often have 100-200 tabs open on an average day, and occasionally clean that down to 10-ish (I’m often back up to 50 by the end of the day). Vanilla Firefox has pretty good tab management features (shift+click to select a range, close to the right, the drop down menu on the right, tab pinning, tabs open across devices, etc).
Once you realize that you don’t sort or ever even revisit them, you can start using the browsing history to serve the same purpose.
Then you realize bookmarks and history are worse than keeping the tabs
