That would be very very ineffective for me. I work with dozens of things
all over internet everyday. Opening these pages every day again and
again would take time to find the bookmarks, click each of them or load
entire tree, wait for entire tree of bookmarks to load.. Why? I just
keep tabs open. Most used tabs which I check every few hours I keep
pinned, they change from tab into an icon only.

You seem to have very limited internet usage. This is unlike many of us
here.
I keep my e-mail client and browser profiles (separate profiles for each
multi-tab window, each profile has separate purpose also for security
reasons) open 24/7. Also I run entire flock under firejail, that keeps
it very secure.

Firefox ESR has a setting in GUI where you can decrease max. number of
processes spawned, as I mentioned in my previous message, that helps a
lot when you have limited memory. I run my work PC with 64 GB ECC.
Enough for everything. :)
