This is clear abuse of the web browser, not the common usage pattern. I'm 
surprised that ANY browser supports that kind of abuse. (Especially Firefox 
used to get criticized for excessive memory requirements by people like you 
opening hundreds of tabs.) I don't think this should be a requirement for 
our default browser.
