Interesting.
I didn't even know about pinned tabs. So this setting won't affect me.
Now that I know about pinned tabs, I have to think about how I'd use them. So far, I'm coming up empty (after 1 minute of thought).
Can anyone pipe up about how and why they use pinned tabs?
I already have browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand false
I have gmail, facebook messanger and facebook pinned at the start of my tabs. Of course the setting to only load tabs when I actually view them is on, so having 300 tabs in my session doesn't do much unless I actually go to a given tab at which point it loads again. I am down to about 300 open tabs at the moment. It's not as bad as the 600 I was at a few weeks ago. At least firefox handles such "abuse" fairly well unlike chrome that is a total disaster with a lot less tabs open. And yeah bookmarks never seemed useful to me. -- Len Sorensen
