Many tabs - cause the computer to freeze on individual pages
The problem was actually solved by discovering it, but I'd like to understand it and to post the solution - for whoever will have the same problem.
I recently installed Bionic-Pup-64 - and had these kinds of problems; which lead me to think that the problem is with not enough RAM (2G). But it turned out that this is the main problem.
I use Pale Moon; and I mainly used a session with ~200 tabs. While almost no tabs were loaded ― on different specific pages ― the whole computer started to freeze; pages like: FaceBook, YouTube, Google-Docs. So finally I tried to open the same pages ― starting from one tab ― and the CPU didn't shoot up. It seems that the CPU rises - but much less.
The sessions themselves ― loaded quickly, and no other problems. So how can alot of tabs - influence single pages?

Check Pale Moon preferences->Tabs->Don't load tabs until selected
Why would you want 200 tabs.
That is the purpose of bookmarks.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

@bigpup - the tabs aren't loaded!
That's an idea; I already see how it'll be much more convenient in some aspects, but not all. If there could be bookmarks per session; otherwise - I'll end up with a million bookmarks at once. BTW - how heavy will loading the bookmarks be?That is the purpose of bookmarks.

@bigpup - thinking about it some more, and seeing how I create the tabs in the first place ― bookmarks are probably not suitable. I learn alot of different subjects, which branch-out to more specific queries - which I open immediately in new tabs; and they all need to be in relative order. And to order bookmarks ― requires extra work. So best that I'll just divide the sessions as much as I can.

When you know which of your sites are functional enough *without* JS, blacklist'em!

The above is a "request" example.

Here we go, key-combos are a motor skill every power user should master.

Since we were on the subject of tabs I thought I'd interject - a shameless plug.
I'd also venture to guess that most average users don't know what they're miss'in by not using key-combos.
