Rather than try and force Firefox to deal with thousands of tabs, it’d be easier to use an add-on like SingleFile to download the tabs as self-contained HTML files. After that, you can search their contents using free tools like Agent Ransack or DocFetcher.

If you prefer to keep the data in your browser, then how about using a service like Instapaper that lets you save pages for reading/referencing later as well as search their contents?

I like the fact that they support devices with software updates longer than their competitors.

My last phone was a Pixel 2XL, which I loved, but it stopped getting security updates after just 2 years. I know Goggle has pledged to support devices longer, but I can’t trust them to actually follow through.
