Tabbed browsing makes Web surfing more convenient. This section describes how to use tabbed browsing and how to customize it to make Web surfing even faster.
Tabbed browsing lets you open tabs, each displaying a web page, within a single &brandShortName; window. This frees up space on your desktop.
You can also "browse ahead" with tabbed browsing. If you are on a long web page, you can load links in new tabs. The linked web pages will load in tabs while you read the current page.
To open a new tab, press &accelKey;+T, select
, or double-click an empty space in the Tab Bar.To load a link in a tab, you can do one of the following:
To close the current tab, press &accelKey;+W, click the Close Tab button, middle-click the tab, or select
.To close all tabs other than the current one, right-clickpress &ctrlKey;, click on the tab and choose .
While it's easy to select tabs with a mouse, you can also cycle through tabs using the keyboard: use &ctrlKey;+PageUp (or &ctrlKey;+Tab) and &ctrlKey;+PageDown (or &ctrlKey;+&shiftKey;+Tab). You can also select the first tab by pressing &accelKey;&altKey;+1, and so on up to the 9th tab with &accelKey;&altKey;+9.
To bookmark a set of tabs:
Instead of using only one web page as your homepage, you can make your home page a set of tabs. Select your favorite web sites and open them in tabs in a single window. Select &pref.menuPath; and open the General panel. Under Home Page, press the Use Current Pages button. Now when you press the Home button, your favorite web sites will load with just a click.
To customize tabbed browsing, select &pref.menuPath; and open the Advanced panel. &pref.pluralCaps; for tabbed browsing can be found under Tabbed Browsing.
