Wow. You geek.
I am surprised that people have that much time to waste.
I am concerned about your well being, and recommend you write code for good, rather than for nothing.

Adam, I highly recommend tree-style tabs if you’ve got that many tabs open! I’ve only 60 tabs open today… I’m sure that’ll change when I catch up with Google Reader though!

117 today… Tree-tabs does a good job of hiding them!

cwillu, thanks for the heads up, the code is now fixed in the website. Re: the disabling/re-enabling of flash through add-ons – I never knew that! Thanks so much! (I assumed you’d have to restart firefox to get the benefit, as with add-ins.)

Ah, neat, it’s just your website that breaks it :p

re: Flash10, there are 32bit versions of nspluginwrapper (the wrapper that allows the use of 32bit plug-ins on 64bit installs) around which will do the job nicely. While installed, if flash crashes, you’ll get a gray box instead of having Firefox close up on you. At that point, going to add-ons and disabling/re-enabling flash will bring it back without a restart.

re: Javascript blurb, you’ve got “’s, ”’s and ’’s mixed into that code, which breaks it.

javascript:var w=Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator).getEnumerator(’navigator:browser’),t=0;while(w.hasMoreElements())t+=w.getNext().document.getElementById(”content”).mTabs.length;alert(”You have “+t+” tabs open”);
