Ok. I have to accept that I have a problem. Despite a massive cull a few months ago, my current Firefox tab count, across 4 windows, has crept up to 2020. This madness has to stop. Problem is that for each one I want to close, I have to load it and look at it to make sure I can handle letting it go. I may be some time.
