Tabbed Browsing |
Mozilla Firefox allows you to load multiple web pages into separate tabs within the same browser window.
The biggest advantage of tabbed browsing is that it eliminates the need to display multiple browser windows. And hence it helps to keep your desktop clutter-free. |

Benefits of Tabbed Browsing |
Each tab occupies the browser's entire viewing area when displayed.
It eliminates the need to frequently resize and reposition the opened browser windows. |

Benefits of Tabbed Browsing |
Tabbed browsing also consumes less memory and
operating system resources than tiled-window browsing, provided the user does not open too many tabs at once. |
Switch to the browser. | Lets say, you are on a particular webpage. |
Point to the first link - “Firefox for Desktop”.
Right-click on the link >> click on ‘Open link in new tab’.
Switch back to “Firefox for Desktop” tab. |
Here is a link - “Firefox for Desktop”.
You can open this link in a new tab. To do so, right click on the link. In the context menu, click on ‘Open link in new tab’. You notice that a new tab opens to the right of the existing tab, in the same browser window. So, without closing or moving out of your window, you can open another webpage in the same window. |
Click on File >> New Tab.
Point to the new tab. |
You can also open a new tab by clicking on File and New Tab.
The shortcut keys for this are CTRL+T. Notice that when you open a new tab, the new tab immediately becomes active. |
On the URL bar >> Type ‘www.google.com’ | Now go to the URL bar and type ‘www.google.com’. |
Click the 3 tabs one after the other. | You will now have 3 tabs, each with a different web page! |
Click the ‘+’ symbol to the right of the rightmost tab. | You can also open a new tab, by clicking the ‘+’ button to the right of the rightmost tab. |
|
We can also arrange the tabs as per our requirements.
Just click on a tab and without releasing the mouse button, move it to the required location. Now release the mouse button. The tab is now in the desired location. |
Let us look at some basic operations which Mozilla Firefox allows us to perform. | |
Click on the search engine logo in the search bar >> In the dropdown list choose ‘google’. | Let us change the search engine to “google”.
|
In the Search bar >> type ‘email wikipedia’ >> click on the magnifying glass to the right of the Search bar. | In the Search bar lets type ‘email wikipedia’ and click on the magnifying glass to the right of the Search bar. |
Point to the first search result.
|
The relevant Wikipedia page is the first search result.
Lets open this page by clicking on the link. |
Click on File >> Save Page As | Now, click on File and then on “Save Page As”. |
Select Desktop >> in File name field type ‘search.html’ >> click on Save button. | Lets save the file on the Desktop with the name ‘search.html’. |
Click on File >> New Tab. | Now let us open a new tab in browser window
by clicking on File and New Tab. |
Click on File and Open File >>Browse for your saved file >> double-click to open it. | Now lets open our saved page in this new Tab window.
Click on File and Open File . Browse and open the saved file. |
Point to the the URL bar.
Scroll down the page. |
In the URL bar, you see that the address is not an internet address but a local location on your computer.
Now you can now read this page, even when you are offline. |

Pop-ups |
Pop-ups are windows that appear automatically without your permission. |
Show Slide Number 8
Pop-ups |
Firefox allows us to control both pop-ups and pop-unders
through the Content tab within Preferences window. On Windows, this would be within the Options window. Pop-up blocking is turned on, by default. |
Click on Edit >> Preferences. | Click on Edit and Preferences.
Windows users please click on Tools and Options. |
Click on the ‘Content’ tab >> Point to the ‘Block pop-up windows’ option >> point to the check-mark in the check-box.
Click on the OK button. |
In the ‘Content’ tab, the first option, ‘Block pop-up windows’ is checked, by default.
If not, then please check this option. The various options of this dialog box will be discussed in another tutorial. Click on the Close button. |
