Hey, now. I once had a Firefox session (with "restore tabs from previous session" enabled, and about six-to-eight windows) with 5,190 open tabs, and that computer only had 24GB of RAM.
Modern browsers supports "unloaded" tabs, so most of your tabs likely were similar to bookmarks with page resources not loaded to RAM.
P.S. Perhaps in future tabs as UI element in browsers will be merged with bookmarks and browsing history. The only prerequisite to better save state of scroll position and partially filled forms.
