20k tabs? I struggle to see how someone could go through that many tabs, even over a long period of time. Your workflow is something the browser was never made to handle.
Try some popular non-Mozilla tab suspend extensions. I doubt that they all operate the same way.
20k tabs means there are other problems that need to be addressed
Yes, my computer sucks, I need 256GB ram and 128 cpu cores apparently
Although even then it still would be too weak to do something crazy like search for text, in all tabs
It works fine, until I run "merge all windows" then many of them appear to be waken up. You are right, maybe one of my addon is causing them to wake up unnecessarily. But I have so many, it's hard to tell which one it might be.
The thing is that, it does work fine as long as I don't disturb too many tabs. It's the action of agglomerating all tabs to a single window that wakes up a bunch of tabs unnecessarily Surely there's a shortcut or something to "stop all tabs" immediately. I would even take a "discard all tabs" to flush the tab memory. It seems to be what happens after a while, but it takes more than 5 minutes to happen on its own.
