that doesn't help me, if it was 1 add-on i'd agree with you, but 3 of them at once?

I have all three extensions that you mention. I regularly find that I have to disable Privacy Badger for websites to work properly. [I have similar problems with Ghostery]. Try running without Privacy Badger.

With 400 tabs open you are almost guaranteed to have problems. I would suggest that you bookmark all of the tabs you really need in relevant named folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar and only open those related to your current work. [I can't imagine how you can remember which tabs you have and how you can manage them].
