What I will propose below for Everything's Tabs is coming straight out of my long time positive experience with Tabs feature in filemanager FreeCommander:
Close All Tabs - there should be an option [available both as an entry in the right click menu and as an icon] that would close altogether all Tabs
Lock Tab - there could be an option that would prevent user from accidental / quick closure of important Tabs by popping up question if a given [locked] Tab should be really closed when clicked manually and omitted automatically from being closed when the above option would be executed; and as such they should then be also somehow visually marked as being locked
Tabs quick closing en masse and prevention of it proposition for update

Close the window to close all tabs.Close All Tabs - there should be an option [available both s an entry in the right click menu and as an icon] that would close altogether all Tabs
A 'close other tabs' item is on my TODO list.
Locking tabs is on my TODO list for a future release.Lock Tab - there could be an option that would prevent user from accidental / quick closure of important Tabs by popping up question if a given [locked] Tab should be really closed when clicked manually and omitted automatically from being closed when the above option would be executed; and as such they should then be also somehow visually marked as being locked
Thank you for the suggestions.

I would kindly suggest then to implement also an option that when activated would restore [session of] Tabs when user re-opens Everything; all of them or only locked ones
And also for people who might prefer an opposite approach an option that when activated would close Tabs when Everything is merely minimized to the Tray; all of them or only locked ones

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> session_store_restore_on_first_shown_window
I assume locked tabs would auto restore by default and would be a separate setting.

Yes, this works, thank you
The last thing I would like to kindly suggest is to create a separate
Tools > Options > Tabs
section that would hold all settings related to Tabs

I am considering adding session_store_restore_on_first_shown_window to Tools -> Options -> UI.
Tools -> Options -> UI will contain all the 'simple' tab related options.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Re: Tabs quick closing en masse and prevention of it proposition for update
The locked tabs I think is similar to the Browser's pin tabs feature, although not losing the titles.
I suspect the context of locking tabs can be combined with the concept of manually saved sessions (manually named, manually opened).
I think there's the question of whether to automatically update those sessions. I suspect there's going to be a concept of dynamic vs static saved sessions.
So I save a session, and later reopen it and add a new tab or several - do those tabs get added to the session you had opened? a dynamic session it would automatically, a static session it wouldn't and you'd need to save the state manually to the session you had opened from a menu item (or save as a new session), and perhaps a third state for a session would be that it asks on closure whether to save back or discard. However given you open several tabs and may only want some saved back I think this means you might want for each tab a "Save to Session" and this I think is fairly synonymous with the idea of a locked tab being mentioned here, except the session in question is a default session.
