    How many Tabs on average open in your browser?

    As the title says, How many tabs do you have in one browser window at one time?

    I usually have around 10-12, any more and the tab titles become questionable. Usually have 2-5 windows open, with each window corresponding to a different task and tabs helping with that task.

    I use Firefox. I have Chrome, but its been a task in and of itself to get used to it out of the box.

    I only have 8 open right now, but I just restarted my computer. Before that I had one that had around 25 tabs open... and I had about 5-6 windows open. This is typical for me.

    Same as hungry4knowhow, always 2-5 firefox instances running 10-15 tabs each... gotta love it when you usually suspend your computer and leave tabs with flash animations

    7 tabs as 'home pages', always there. I'll open more tabs to look at other pages

    About 7-8 most of the time. Any more than 7-8 and it truncates the title of my first tab which is being used for webmail, and I wouldn't be "notified" (by looking at the title) if there was any new email.

    A friend used to tease me about having so many open. Usually between 4-10 in my browser plus YIM, MS Word, Media player, and sometimes some design app's.
    I call it maximizing your puters capabilities. I do remember a time when running all these things would have either slowed you puter down or make it crash.

    Mostly 1.

    However, when working on a project, it can get to maybe 5-6.

    Is this before or after we count how many of the tabs are of "adult nature"? Cause if not, 10-20 if so 8-15.
