I work with someone who never closes a tab. They'll just keep plowing ahead until they literally have to reboot their computer for lack of resources. Physical clutter doesn't bother me much, but I have to look away when they share their screen.
I had a user that did this with outlook emails all the time. Since she was in leadership, we had to put up with it. At one point we even had to escalate it to Microsoft and they came back saying that Outlook is simply not designed to be used in such a fashion. That did not dissuade the user at all. After maxing out the computer specs, she ended up exceeding the actual limitation of the software for resources used.
I think eventually she got fired for incompetence for other things. It was quite a relief.
For other things? That just speaks to the incompetence of the morons above her...
I think when you're that high up, you're a bit harder to fire.
But yeah.
Firefox tabs survive reboots and waste about as much resources as a bookmark. Those people should really migrate.
You can set Firefox to purge everything when you close it, not sure why its not set as default
Closing all tabs is default behavior.
clearly they need more RAM
