Why does Opera Mini sometimes prevent me from opening new tabs?

Sometimes when I switch to tab view to open new tab, the new tab icon is replaced with dark gray "ninja icon" that does nothing.
Why does this happen?

I assume that the dark ninja icon is supposed to indicate something, but how on earth am I, or anyone else to read it? All I know is that sometimes the light and easy to see + icon isn't there, and on its place is a dark smudge on a dark background that I could make out only after taking a screenshot and zooming in - and it's a tiny ninja! Like, wth!?!?

@robsku The (+) turns into a ninja if you currently have more than 99 tabs open. This can also be seen on the tabs icon next to the ninja, where a shuriken is shown instead of the amount of open tabs. The little ninja icon prevents you from overwhelming the app with 99+ tabs, so try closing them.

@33rn thank you for the information, that makes sense.

I have one continuation question for that: since I asked that I've closed less tabs than I have opened from other applications (mostly from my email app), so does that mean I now have more than 99 tabs, or does some previously opened tab get overwritten? I've never had Opera Mini refuse opening a link from some other application.

Edit: nevermind, I got my answer when I closed one tab and still couldn't open new ones - I then tried opening 2 more from K9-Mail, and it worked. Apparently I've gone over 99 by several tabs now - time to close some down
