What's really exiting is the improvement in start-up time, which was abnormally high for this use-case.
Firefox can handle 200 open (rendered / active/ responsive) tabs for a very long time now.
Source: when I'm browsing news sites or community sites (9gag, reddit, HN) I usually scroll the main page looking for stuff that looks interesting and open them in new tabs. I don't always open 200 tabs at once but it definetely happens from time to time. I'm using a desktop from 2009 with 4GB of RAM and and a dual core CPU in case you're wondering.

Edit: I have 4GB of RAM, not 2 as written earlier
