"Why not just slow down your device?"
Tabs aren't meant as bookmarks. Read later is for saving anything to any amount of time, and it doesn't take up responses of your system, is searchable, has tags, reading view etc. Your comment is grandma with dementia level of tech illiteracy.
That's literally what tabs are on mobile browsers
You'd need the PC equivalent of a grandma with dementia for it to struggle running Firefox. Anecdotally, I game with my tab collection regularly with no issues, but here's a more scientific test: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-many-tabs-does-it-take-to-slow-down-your-browser/
But even in that case, just bookmark, save, and/or archive the pages in question? It doesn't make sense for them to maintain servers and code on a service so easily replicated by the browser itself.
