Each tab must have been one micron wide, how did you even expect to be able to click on a specific one in the future with that many open - wait, I think I’ve answered my own question.
You underestimate the sheer volume in my hippocampus dedicated to tracking tabs.
… Kidding, mostly. Because generally tabs are grouped together in a way that makes sense so it’s easy to remember. These 10 tabs are me researching a new tool… A couple tags for articles I will surely get to… Then these 15 tabs are documentation for XYZ… Those 5 tabs are YouTube videos I want to watch… These are three Wikipedia searches that popped in my head and oh look a couple songs I want to listen to before adding them to my playlist.
If I want to find a tab and they are fully minimized then I click on the group with the relevant icon then I Ctrl+Tab through them until I find what I want. Perfectly reasonable.
I swear it makes sense and bookmarks are not an adequate replacement.
Vertical tabs. I have a plugin on Firefox that lists tabs vertically and they’re also stacked so tabs opened in a tab get nested in that tab. I can’t remember the name, but I’ll update this comment with it when at my computer if anyone wants it.

They have a minimum width and then you can scroll
But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is…
Firefox has a tab search 😁
That’s why you use TreeStyleTabs
Sideberry is a particularly useful extension for this, especially if you have an ultra wide monitor

what do you mean?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/
or
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/
i even have a search bar to search between my own tabs.
Tree style tabs is cool, but sidebery is where it’s fucking at.
Vertical tabs, groups, automatically open certain sites in specific container tabs, pin tabs to the top or unload them.
Everything I could possibly want for tab organization, even down to a fully adjustable css file with a great UI for getting that shit pixel perfect.

To be fair, they were spread across 3 windows. 900 tabs on my general window, 400 on my work window, and 200 on my home server window
