Another useful addon is Tab Manager Plus. It helps to find tabs if you have a lot open, but it doesn't close them like One Tab does, so it doesn't help much with memory problems.</div><div><br></div><div>Feb 1, 2022, 10:14 by kwlug-disc@kwlug.org:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>If you have too many tabs open taking up a lot of memory, try
