At least you can get 60 tabs. Firefox brings my RAM to 98% just by starting it, and if I try to open more than 3 tabs it becomes the next victim of the OOM killer.

What are your system specs? I've had responsive FF performance with half a dozen tabs on a Pi Zero W remotely over SSH with a VNC viewer, while the Pi was also serving an RTSP stream (at lower resolution but still, 30fps). Something else may be going on if you can only open 3 tabs. Are you running some resource heavy extensions?

Windows 11 (unfortunately) with about 8GB of RAM (iirc). I can't check specs right now but will tonight.
