Yes, sure. I do technical due diligence for a living and when researching a particular company every time I come across another interesting link that hasn't changed color yet I open another tab. Then I just keep reading until there are no more tabs open, and no more interesting notes to take. It's part of my workflow (and one of the reasons why the scrapbook add-on is essential to me, another reason I do my work on the older machine).
I'm hovering around 250 tabs these days and it's doing fine, but most of those aren't loaded. Sounds like yours would be. You might want to try a tab unloading extension.
