    I’ve started sending things to myself in email. That way I never look at them, but it doesn’t free up my precious cloud storage space when I have to reformat my hard drive.

    A failure that never goes away.

    on each device i have a bookmarks folder like “ARCHIVE” or “stuff”, so these whimsy bookmarks don’t interfere with my actual bookmarks i need for work, games, shopping, etc. 😅

    Just never close the tab!

    Did you know: when you have enough tabs, Firefox for Android stops showing you how many there are and instead shows an infinity sign. How fun!

      The problem is I have so many tabs that I’ll never open again either. Eventually I close a window to start fresh whatever the purpose of that window was for.

    I usually open them twice… The first time, and bookmark it. Then the Second time a year or two later, when I’m trying to clean out my bookmarks wondering why I saved it in the first place.

    Edit: should have been a reply to “just keep the tab open”… Anyways, just keep the tab open. Maybe you stumble upon it again when closing some urelated tabs.

    I still have tabs open from when I researched for my paper. That was… some years ago. It must be more than 3k open at this point since it was 2k already some time ago.

    Fun fact: firefox many moons ago would take a veeery long time to open. That has been fixed for quite some time now. Also, I think they stopped bombarding DNS queries for every open tab… Fun times when you opened firefox and nothing would work for some time because the DNS servers temporarily blocked you.

    I only add things to the bookmarks bar at the top so I see them and when I open a new tab they’re there waiting for me. I think I only have 5 and I add and remove them so the bar doesn’t get full

    I used to keep impeccable bookmarks.

    Unfortunately. It was a time where book marks were ONLY on your pc. So as soon as my hard drive crashed. I lost all of them.

    I only had to do this a few times before I stopped caring.

    Eventually firefox allowed cloud sync. But it was to late. I e forgotten hundreds of sites.
