    Browsing the web on a typical day I tend to amass a ridiculous amount of open tabs, whether related to something I'm working on or stuff that caught my eye...

    Firefox also launches 3 whenever I run it.
    Google, Wall Street Journal, and Scottrade
    I sometimes have dozens of tabs in different windows open on two or three monitors while daytrading, or researching.

    I usually open up multiple tabs for comparison shopping, different mail accounts, different forums etc. I've got about 70 open ATM. But, that's just on my "fun computer".....which is dedicated to the appreciation of "art photography". (BTW 70 is a way low number for this machine).

    I either weed out tabs, (and windows), from time, or wait til FF hits about 800,000 + MB of memory usage, the "plug in container" process crashes, or the browser simply gives up in revulsion and disgust, and closes itself......:oops:

    14 open, right now. Several, that I use often, are just left open. I use Opera and use their Sessions to save different groups of tabs. Saves me a lot of time.

    19, usually about double or triple that if I'm working on a project. More for multiple projects.

    2-3 on average, if I'm researching something it can be as high as 10.

    I leave my computer on for days at a time and rarely close anything. Currently, 5 tabs. In a few days that could get close to 100.
