Firefox runs painfully slow with >50 tabs whereas i remember some version from 1-2 years ago running fine with >300 tabs. It was my main reason for using it. I don't know if there's something to be done, i don't want to use bookmarks etc. If i were to revert to an older version do you know which one was it likely to be?

Do any of those tabs have players?
