<h1>Tabbed Browsing</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tabbed browsing makes browsing the Web more convenient. This section describes how to
|
|
use tabbed browsing and how to customize it to make browsing the Web even faster.</p>

<h2 id="using_tabbed_browsing">Using Tabbed Browsing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tabbed browsing lets you open tabs, each displaying a web page, within a single
|
|
&brandShortName; window. This frees up space on your desktop.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="creating_loading_tabs">Creating and Loading Tabs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To open a new tab, press &accelKey;+<kbd>T</kbd>, select <span
|
|
class="menuPath">File > New Tab</span>, or double-click an empty space in
|
|
the Tab Bar.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To load a link in a tab, you can do one of the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Middle-click the link. (If you have a mouse wheel, clicking the wheel is
|
|
equivalent to middle-clicking.)</li>
|
|
<li>Drag the link and drop it on an empty space in the Tab Bar. (If only one
|
|
web page is open, the Tab Bar may be hidden. See <a
|
|
href="#customizing">Customizing Tabbed Browsing</a> for information on how
|
|
to change this.)</li>
|
|
<li>Drag and drop the link onto a tab to open the link in that tab.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="noMac">Right-click</span><span class="mac">Press &ctrlKey;,
|
|
click on</span> the link and choose <span
|
|
class="menuPath">Open Link in New Tab</span> from the context menu.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="closing_tabs">Closing Tabs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To close the current tab, press &accelKey;+<kbd>W</kbd>, click the Close
|
|
Tab button, middle-click the tab, or select <span class="menuPath">File >
|
|
Close Tab</span>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To close all tabs other than the current one, <span
|
|
class="noMac">right-click</span><span class="mac">press &ctrlKey;,
|
|
click</span> on the tab and choose <span class="menuPath">Close Other
|
|
Tabs</span>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="keyboard_shortcuts">Keyboard Shortcuts</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>While it's easy to select tabs with a mouse, you can also cycle through
|
|
tabs using the keyboard: use &ctrlKey;+<kbd>PageUp</kbd> (or
|
|
&ctrlKey;+<kbd>Tab</kbd>) and &ctrlKey;+<kbd>PageDown</kbd> (or
|
|
&ctrlKey;+&shiftKey;+<kbd>Tab</kbd>). You can also select the first tab by
|
|
pressing <span class="noUnix">&accelKey;</span><span
|
|
class="unix">&altKey;</span>+<kbd>1</kbd>, and so on up to the 9th tab with
|
|
<span class="noUnix">&accelKey;</span><span
|
|
class="unix">&altKey;</span>+<kbd>9</kbd>.</p>
|
|

|
<h3 id="bookmarking_tabbed_browsing">Bookmarks and Tabbed Browsing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To bookmark a set of tabs:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+<kbd>D</kbd> or select <span class="menuPath">Bookmarks
|
|
> Bookmark This Page</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Check the <em>Bookmark all tabs in a folder</em> checkbox to store all
|
|
the tabs in the current window into a bookmark folder.</li>
|
|
<li>To open bookmarks in tabs, open a bookmark folder menu and choose <span
|
|
class="menuPath">Open in Tabs</span>. You can also middle-click on the
|
|
folder to open its contents in tabs. The bookmarks will open in existing
|
|
tabs, not new ones.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="home_page_as_tabs">Home Page as Tabs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <em>General</em> panel.
|
|
Under <em>Home Page</em>, press the <em>Use Current Pages</em> button. Now
|
|
when you press the Home button, your favorite web sites will load with just
|
|
a click.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="customizing">Customizing Tabbed Browsing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To customize tabbed browsing, select &pref.menuPath; and open the
|
|
<em>Advanced</em> panel. &pref.pluralCaps; for tabbed browsing can be found
|
|
under <a href="prefs.xhtml#tabbed_browsing">Tabbed Browsing</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tips">Helpful Tips</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>You can add a New Tab button on the toolbar to easily open new tabs by
|
|
<a href="customization.xhtml#rearranging_toolbar_items">customizing your
|
|
toolbars</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>While &brandShortName; already provides the most widely-used tabbed
|
|
browsing &pref.plural;, you may wish to tweak tabbed browsing even
|
|
further using <a href="customization.xhtml#extensions">extensions</a>.</li>
