Bookmarks and Tabbed Browsing

Tips and Tricks

Bookmarks and Tabbed Browsing

To bookmark a set of tabs:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+D or Select Bookmarks > Bookmark All Tabs to add all the tabs in the current window to a new bookmark folder.

2. To open bookmarks in tabs, open a bookmark folder menu and choose Open in Tabs. You can also middle-click on the folder to open its contents in tabs. The bookmarks will open in existing tabs, not new ones.

Home Page as Tabs

Instead of using only one web page as your homepage, you can make your home page a set of tabs. Select your favorite web sites and open them in tabs in a single window. Select Tools > Options and open the Main panel. Under Startup, press the Use Current Pages button. Now when you press the Home button, your favorite web sites will load with just a click.

Adding a New Tab Toolbar Button

You can add a New Tab button on the toolbar to easily open new tabs by customizing your toolbars.

Keyboard shortcuts

Firefox has an extensive set of shortcuts related to tabbed browsing; see the full list in Keyboard Shortcuts.
