Browser Tab Hoarding: How do you organize/archive your research? Trying to reach Tab Zero.
Not to be an enabler or anything, but have you tried Auto Tab Discard? Only active tabs will be loaded, so you can have thousands upon thousands of tabs without any impact on memory usage or performance.

Whist, a new cloud-hybrid browser
I use Auto Tab Discard [0], which offloads tabs after a period of time. They still show as normal tabs (with a "ZZZ" icon to indicate it's been discarded), and the website reloads when I switch to them.
When I open the browser after closing it, the session is restored with all but the current tab offloaded so it opens quickly and using very little resources.
My current session has tens of tabs, only a handful of them active. It uses about .5% CPU when idle, and less than 1Gb RAM.

That's true.
Also https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard, which despite the name, doesn’t close tabs, it just unloads them from memory.

Is there any addon that suspends/ hibernates tabs and restores them back when required like in Chromium based browsers there's "the great suspender" or "tiny suspender" and keeps a copy of tabs suspended as backup file on device?
I'm using Auto Tab Discard for very fine control but it is not needed most of the time. FF does this automatically now via Tab Unloading

Extension like the great suspender in chrome?
I think there is an issue open for this in the auto tab repo. Assuming that wasn't you who opened it you can go there and give a +1 to motivate the dev.
- Edge like sleeping tabs possibility with userChrome.js?
-
Inconsistent battery life?
If something like Google Chrome is using a lot of power, can I determine which sites are using the most resources in its Task Manager (Shift+Esc)? Can I use something like Auto Tab Discard to minimize resource usage in tabs I'm not using?

Overcoming Tab Overload
I'm in a very similar situation as you are regarding my browser usage and needs. I now have 46 windows open and 2.1K tabs open, but I've had at some point almost 70 windows and more than 7K tabs...
The most useful extensions I've found to manage this complexity are 1) [window-titler](https://github.com/tpamula/webextension-window-titler) and [winger](https://github.com/l10nelw/winger)
This is the script I made to bring up the firefox window I desire from the custom name I gave it using window-titler:
```bash
