What are you guys doing with that many tabs open ???

Can you clarify this?
Hi Jim,
"lsof -n | grep firefox | wc -l"
includes things like memory mapped libraries.
"ps ax | grep firefox | wc -l"
currently yields 78 firefox processes but
"ps -eLf | grep firefox | wc -l" yields 2319 firefox threads.
(This of course is nowhere near bulletproof but
it'll do for now.)
I probably have a couple hundred tabs open,
across 23 firefox windows.
Thanks Mike.
I have three different firefox profiles running, and I'd guess over 100
tabs (more than I feel like counting right now).
For lsof -n | grep firefox | wc -l I get 882961 (which is a lot more
than I would have guessed before seeing your message, but not up in the
same range as you).
(Incidentally, I see that that the above grep catches lots of lines like
Socket 621 ... /usr/lib64/firefox/libsoftokn3.so
and I wonder whether the above grep double-counts some things. But maybe
that isn't a big deal anyway.)
FYI, on my system right now ps ax | grep firefox | wc -l gives 100,
and ps -eLf | grep firefox | wc -l gives 3105.
It is interesting (to me) that you have fewer threads, and yet about 2.55
times as many files opened.
For comparison, for a chromium instance with 22 tabs lsof reports 75422
files, and for 9 (collectively) urxvt terminals (with some perl extensions)
lsof reports 732 open files. Evidently the web browser programmers are
experts at writing software that uses lots of files. ;-)
Cheers.
Jim
