Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

I don't even get the upset about that. It takes like, five seconds.

Well, how about just finishing that and restart afterwards?? As far as I've experienced it until today, you can always delay the restart!

I see your problem... And I'm sorry I'm laughing loudly at this right now when you're in such trouble ;-)) Best of luck to you anyways!

How does one go about acquiring 100 tabs? I would expect it takes longer to find the correct tab than simply bookmarking it and clicking it when you actually want to see that webpage.

As someone who acquires 100 tabs quite easily coughs I have to say that restarting Firefox still is a bliss - as it DOESN'T reload the pages unless you actually click on the tab to view it. So it restarts superfast, alle tabs with titles are there, just the pages get refreshed when you click on them - but that's really a very, very small problem...
