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.
