Tab Groups cannot handle the amount of tabs I have well, it seems

[Kxeon]

I managed to pinpoint the point where started breaking was on July 21. FIle: https://disk.yandex.com/d/dvDx4ap5u1xFtw
Everything before worked fine, but this file and everything after usually fails. I have to try basically everything to get it to work. Seemingly, something that worked yesterday (importing, then terminating pale moon, restarting and it imports correctly) won't work today. (It might work, but it has broken tabs. Presumably because it died again. Most of the time though it doesn't work at all.)
What to do in this case other than resetting? Is it inevitable? Do I have to go back 5 days to be able to keep at least some of my tabs?

Your file doesn't seem to be available. So, how many tabs are we talking about?

Hmm.. looks like it somehow disappeared into thin air. Or I got the wrong thing.
This one should work, right? https://disk.yandex.com/d/5ifheQEnA4lRXA

Oh, that's not from Tab Groups, but rather from Tab Groups Manager 2? Not sure if I can help with that.
(you may not want to keep the file up publicly, by the way. Likely has personal data in it.)

Dang, I managed to do the same mistake twice.
First I call PasswordSafe pwsafe and now this. Oops.

I just did a test with the exported file, seems to have loaded fine on my system after dropping the extension in a portable. About 1600 tabs?... Not sure if that is considered within normal scope.

Either way seems it needs a bit more info to be able to troubleshoot. You are using a 64-bit Pale moon, I hope?

Yup. Definitely using 64-bit Pale Moon.
By the way, while yes I use AVX2 Pale Moon, at the same time, the bug still happens on normal Pale Moon too so still.

It is very slow to respond with that many loaded so yeah I just think it's beyond the design scope of that extension.

Which Tab Groups Manager are you using? I did enough to get it working on palemoon (Tab groups manager reloaded), but I've no idea what limitations there may be. However, with 1600 tabs, you're keeping the history for all of them. and starting up will take some time as the addon will have to move each tab into the correct group - which will also stress the browser.

There's also some bits and pieces in there that look like it might be keeping two copies of some data, which wouldn't be great on memory usage if so.

It may be possible to rework things to make some of those operations faster and less memory intensive but I haven't been able to spend a great deal of time on it.

You can also check about:memory and learn why actually loading such amount of tabs into Pale Moon is a terrible idea.

Why would anyone need to have 1600 tabs? I do not even have that many bookmarks. If one wants to keep track of 1600 pages, why not use bookmarks?
