- <h1>Tabbed Browsing</h1>
-
- <p>Tabbed browsing lets you open tabs, each displaying a web page, within a
- single &brandShortName; window. You can open links in new tabs, where they
- will load while you read the current page. You don't have to use tabbed
- browsing, but if you do you might find tabbed browsing is a better, faster
- way to browse the Web.</p>

-
- <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>

- <h2 id="moving_tabs">Moving Tabs Within a Window</h2>
-
- <p>Tabs are displayed in the order you open them, which may not always be what
- you want. To move a tab to a different location within a &brandShortName;
- window, simply drag it there using your mouse. While you are dragging the
- tab, &brandShortName; displays a small indicator to show where the tab will be
- moved. Alternately, you can use <a
- href="shortcuts.xhtml#windows_tabs">keyboard shortcuts</a> to move tabs within
- a window if desired.</p>
-
- <h2 id="closing_tabs">Closing and Restoring Tabs</h2>
-
- <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>. 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>
-
- <p>&brandShortName; windows keep a list of tabs you closed recently. You can
- restore any tab by selecting it from <span class="menuPath">History >
- Recently Closed Tabs</span>. You can restore all tabs by selecting <span
- class="menuPath">History > Recently Closed Tabs > Open All in Tabs
- </span>. Press &accelKey;+&shiftKey;+<kbd>T</kbd> to open them one by one in
- reverse order.</p>
