Apparently I don't for the most part.  I have a few tabs pinned to the
start (gmail, facebook, etc) that I use all the time, then other tabs
for stuff I opened to read or look at.  Sometimes I forget about them
(seems to happen a lot).  Of course you can also open a new tab, type
the name of a tab and one of the options is to jump to a matching tab
that is already open.

I would not claim this is working very well. :)

But firefox puts up with it most of the time.  Chrome would have been
dead long ago with this kind of abuse.
