How to use Tab Browsing feature on Firefox

Tabbing function is one of the best features of Firefox browser.   This feature helps you in opening number of web pages in tabs on a single browser.   Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open Firefox browser.
  2. From the menu bar, click File -> New Tab (or press Ctrl+T)

Note: If you need another browser tab, just press Ctrl+T again.

You can see a new tab opened in the same browser as shown below:
You can switch between tabs by pressing Ctrl+Tab key.

The practical upshot of this is that while you're reading a webpage, you can open a link in another tab.  While that page loads, you can continue to read the first page. This way you don't have to go back and forth between pages.

For example, let's say your reading an incredibly interesting blog. The author links to another page using a hyperlink. If you right click over the hyperlink, a menu appears.  Select Open Link in New Tab.



A new tab will appear and load that page.  Meanwhile you can continue reading the fascinating blog entry.
