Unlike Opera 12 that could handle up to a thousand of tabs, Firefox (until 105 ??) already starts slowing down around 100. I was pretty much forced to install the Auto Tab Discard extension, which I'm guessing was built-in in Opera 12 ??

I use Firefox with 1200+ tabs for the last, I don't know, 60 or 80 versions.

The tabs have all been visited since you last restarted firefox?

It of course depends. I typically open dozens to several hundred new tabs per session.
