Tabbed browsing tips
With the introduction of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 all major browsers now support tabbed browsing. Below are various tips to improve your browsing using tabs.
Open any link in a new tab
Clicking any link with your middle mouse button or wheel opens that link in a new tab. Alternatively, you can hold down Ctrl in IE (Internet Explorer) and Firefox, and click a link to open that link in a new tab.
Closing tabs
Clicking an open tab with your middle mouse button closes that tab.
Open previous page in a new tab
Middle-click the back button to open a previous page in a new tab.
Open a new empty tab
Pressing Ctrl+T opens a new tab in all browsers.
Undo any closed tab
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+T re-opens the closed tab. Alternatively, right-clicking a portion of the tab bar also displays this option.
You can press Ctrl+Shift+T multiple times to re-open all last closed tabs.
Quickly switch between open tabs
Hold down Ctrl and press 1 through 9 on the keyboard to open that respective tab. For example, pressing Ctrl+2 would open the second tab in the browser.
You can also press Ctrl+Tab to switch between tabs left to right, or press Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch between tabs right to left.
View tab options
Right-clicking the active tab gives you an option to close all other non-active tabs.
