Tabbed Browsing

One of the best features of Firefox is the tabbed browsing. It allows you to surf many web pages at once in the same browser window, which helps you to keep from getting lost. To open a link in a new tab, either middle-click on it with the mouse, or hold down the CTRL key and left-click on a link with the mouse. The black arrows in the image below each point to different web pages, each loaded in a different tab. There are four web pages open in this example, but you can have dozens of pages open at once:

Either method of opening a link in a new tab, either middle-click with the mouse, or CTRL-leftclick, will cause the link to load in a tab behind the current page that you are viewing. You can open up many tabs this way and then switch between the different tabs by clicking on them, or by using the keyboard shortcuts mentioned below.
