An Insight on FireFox’s Tabs | FireFox Tips

Today, we will take a look at Firefox‘s most appreciated feature; i.e the ability to view multiple pages by clicking the tab. You don’t necessarily have to click your mouse when ever you want to open a new tab, but instead you can use a combination of CTRL+T keys from your keyboard – a new blank window will be opened with the cursor in the address bar.

Further more you can manually set whether to launch a page in a tab or in a new window whenever you click on them. To do this open your browser, go to Tools -> Options and from there click on Tabs then choose according to your desire to open it in a new window or a new tab and click OK – see screenshot.

Now if you want to move between Tabs without the aid of your mouse, press CTRL+TAB keys to move towards right or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB key to move backwards. You can even re-order your tabs by dragging  them with your mouse.

To close the tab that your are on, press CTRL+W key to close it and in case you accidentally closed a tab that you didn’t want to close then use CTRL+SHIFT+T to re-open the same page in that tab.

If you want more control and speedy surfing, simply memorize the Firefox keyboard shortcuts that we shared with you a couple of days ago.
