Yes it happens. As others have said: just restart.
What might not be as clear: when you restart, if it doesn't just come up and offer to restore your session, you can go to History and Restore Previous Session. This reopens all your tabs (actually, they won't fully reload until you view them).
Or just use bookmarks like a normal person
Bookmarks are for really important stuff. Open tabs are for stuff I want to be able to easily stumble back upon, but I won't be butthurt if I dont.
There's nothing wrong with having more than one way to categorize stuff.
Edit: and considering that session data is also written to disk, there really isn't much difference between bookmarks and open tabs anyway.
There is, when your way consumes resources absurdly.
It doesn't. When you reset it, they take very little resources until you actually load them.
Most non-technical users do this and then complain to IT because their computer doesn't work well. That resource is wasted.
they have an entirely different use case
