  3. Tabbed Browsing Interesting History Tabbed interfaces are 20 years old. Only recently have browsers begun to feature this capability. An Emacs text editor by UniPress pioneered the use of multiple tabbed windows in 1988 Its development began even before then

  4. Tabbed Browsing Tabbed Browsing in Firefox allows loading different WebPages in a single window. It keeps things neat

  5. Opening a New Tab • There are various ways to open a new Tab • One way is to click on the File menu and proceed to click on the New Tab link • Also pictured below, it is also possible press the Ctrl and T keys together. • Another easy way to add a tab to your Firefox window involves either right clicking on the toolbar or on a link (if the goal is to open a link) and selecting “New Tab”

  6. Switching between Tabs • Switching between tabs is also easy. There are two basic ways to do this. • Simply click on whichever web page (tab) you would like to use. All the tabs are located in the tab bar, which is between the web page and the weather bar in our screenshot. • It is also possible to cycle through tabs using keyboard hot keys. To cycle backwards, press the Ctrl and Page Up keys together. To cycle forwards, press the Ctrl and Page Down keys together.

  7. Closing tabs • There are five basic ways to close tabs. • One way involves clicking on the File menu and then proceeding to click on the Close tab link. • As pictured above, it is also possible to press the Ctrl and W keys together to close a tab.

  8. More ways to close tabs • Another way to close a tab is pictured below. Clicking on the actual tab in the tab bar and then clicking “close tab” will also do the trick. • Probably the easiest method to close a tab involves clicking the “X” for the tab in the tab bar. • Finally, if you had a mouse with 3 buttons, hovering over the tab in the tab bar and clicking the middle button will close your tab.
