    In Firefox ctrl + tab will do that, but even better you can search through your tabs by starting your search with %

    Like I said earlier: It is with great grievance that I had to put an end to this and install a plugin that closes the oldest one when I get over 15 (Limit Tabs). (Actually, that is only great, unless I’m in a shopping decision frenzy and actually need this.)

      Firefox Mobile has a setting to close unopened tabs after a specific amount of days, it’s been super helpful

        A mix of the two would be useful: Close the oldest (by last visit) tab when there are more than 12, but only when it is at least 2 hours hold. That way, it doesn’t interrupt a research frenzy, such as when I make a major shopping decision. That’s the only time I ever regret my # tab limit.

    How do ya’ll live like this? If I have more than four or five tabs I get crushing anxiety.

    Just, uh, don’t ask how many bookmarks I have that I’ve never revisited.

      Back from the days when people switched browsers several times in 5 years, I still use a .txt file. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firefox … there was a time of rapid improvement by switching about 27 - 20 years ago.

        I remember! Except mine was a static .htm file with enough scaffolding that I could open it with the browser and click the link instead of copy-and-paste-ing.

      Sidestepped that completely. Got 64GB when I built my desktop because RAM prices were low.

      20GB used up by whatever other shit I have open? No problem, still enough left for whatever I’m actively working on.

      Suffice to say this has not actually helped with the issue.

        I do the same - except I upgraded to 64 GB at a point in my life when I was doing Haskell programming on a largish project, and I learned that 32 GB is not sufficient to run the LSP and the compiler at the same time.

    I do wish I could have my tabs ordered by how recently I accessed them, instead of just opening them in the “next” tab, without an add-on.

      At least in Firefox, when it comes to ordering in terms of ctrl+tab cycle order, it’s just a setting now; used to need an add-on.

    Maybe an extension will do but if it was on another window then you’re likely cooked, especially on Linux and specifically on Wayland. Write down your navigation history next time I guess.
