Tabs, Searching and Saving 

Using Tabbed Browsing

Tabbed browsing enables you to open several web pages in a single Firefox window. Each page appears in a separate tab. In the screen shot below you see a single window with two tabs displayed at the very top of the page.

 

To open a new tab, click on the + sign to the right of the two tabs shown or use the Orange Button  menu command:  New Tab or Press Ctrl+T. New tabs will open immediately to the right of the current tab.

To open a link in a new tab, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, click the wheel while pointing to a link or right-click the link and the link will open in a new tab.

A simple way to close single tabs is to click the Close Tab button
