Mozilla Firefox "tabs"

I like the tabs. instead of opening a new web page, it simply opens a tab. The tabs can also be turned off so it acts more like IE.

Nick:
Thanks for your reply - but I am "computer illiterate," and don't have a clue as to what a tab is. What is a tab, and why are they always closing me out?

In Firefox, if you click on a link on a page, it will open a new "tab," rather than a new window. If you reach all the way up to the upper, right-hand corner to close the page, it will close all that open tabs--so it will close the tab which displays the page you reached by clicking on the link on the first page, and it will close the page on which you originally found the link.

If you get a message asking you if you want to close all the tabs, hit cancel. Then look up to the top of the open page, below the tool bar--you'll see "tab" labels, which look a lot like the tabs on a file folder in real life. There will be a small red box with an "x" in it which allows you to close that tab only.

Fantastic reply! Many, many thanks. For some reason, I never saw the red tab in the middle of the toolbar. Even as I am now typing, there is one sitting right over this message box. It seems so simple, after someone explains it - and you did a super job. Thanks again.

'e's good like that, the 'tanta is!

He talks goodly to the little people!






(I'm new at Firefox too!)



ps - he probably sees little people, too!



<well - don't we all!>

I like the tabbing system when I'm looking up/researching a couple of different things at the same time. I'll start one window per topic, and then open tabs on the same topic from the base window.

That way I can keep things organized by topic.
