I would say transient. If I don’t need a tab open then I close it. It’s pretty much open tabs as required and I don’t get too wild and crazy with it. It’s much nicer having tabs as opposed to multiple windows open. I also like to close my browser when I’m not using it. No excess, just whatever I need at the moment and that’s all!

I have two tabs always open (with Tab Mix Plus session saving): my feed reader (Google Reader) and Netvibes. the rest I open and close as I need. I also don’t use multiple windows, so everything stays on the same window!
Right now, there’s 5 tabs open.

I always open all 30 tabs from my Bookmarks Toolbar Folder that include mail, news, forums and my weblog and after reading them I close them except the Gmail and my Google personalized page with all the RSS feeds.

I find it depends what I do – when I read news etc from feed readers I will open a bunch at a time, but that’s not for very long – until I read them and then close them

However I’ve found that there are articles that I’d like to keep for future reference so I use things like Yahoo MyWeb to bookmark these pages to read later.

Sine I do web promotion, when I actually do use my browsers for work I tend to have 2 or 3 tabs max open, however I may have multiple browsers each with those 2 or 3 tabs (for testing purposes only – to make sure changes I’ve made actually function on multiple browsers).

I’m a similar neat freak in that sense – I have to close tabs – open tabs bother me. And quite regularly throughout the day I’ll close my browser altogether for the same reason – too many open progams filling my toolbar panel bothers me so a few times a day all my programs get closed (or at the very least shifted to another desktop where I won’t see them :) ).

Interesting – never really thought about it but I’ve got both Firefox and IE7 open with 25 tabs between them. I tend to use tabs as a surfing queue or in-tray. If it’s been open for a couple of days, I’ll close it without worrying. Tabs that are always open? Four of them – work intranet 1/work intranet 2/Netvibes homepage/Wordpress admin

Interesting question, and it’s interesting from a usabilty perspective to read how differently people use tabs.

Myself, I have groups for such things as news, accounts, work projects, etc. I tend to open all tabs in one group, and then close them all as soon as I don’t need them. I have colleagues that keep 50 or more tabs open all the tine — that’s too much for me to manage.

Honestly, it depends on what I’m doing. If I’m going through my daily feeds, I skim the info and open items I want to read further into tabs and work my way through them. If I’m blogging, I’ll have random pages up in random order in case I need to access information from another site, or place an adsense ad or compare the admin panel to the live site. Very rarely do I leave tabs open to get to later. If I have to wait that long, I create a folder in my bookmarks and put those pages in that folder.

I will usually have my feedreader and at least one forum site, and I open almost every external link in a new tab. My browser stays open all the time, sometimes for days at a stretch, especially if I have an ongoing project or two.
