Guilty as charged on too many things open on my system, but I DO have 32GB of RAM and even that on occasion can become heavily used (24GB used out of 32GB) and sometimes with heavy CPU usage. I run a Dell SFF optiplex with the 7th gen I5 processor and it maxes out to 32GB. Before long this box will get upgraded to a full ATX tower based i7 computer and even there, maybe the current 14th gen, if not the 13th gen processor and 64GB of memory, running Intel discreet graphics, either Arc or Battlemage of the A770 variety.
Yes, I have plenty of tabs open in FireFox, but also several programs, and several files open with at least 2 programs (mainly Libra Office and Audacity), along with Canva, several folders I'm working from, maybe Davinci Resolve etc and I often am toggling betwen them (alt/tab) frequently.
On occasion have to reboot to reduce memory leakage as I don't shut down the PC, thus, it runs 24/7 and occasionally shut down tabs as I don't need them but even that still leave plenty of tabs open on the daily.
