2.

OR Ctrl+Click or Middle-Click a Link

Another way to open a link in a tabbed window is to press

Ctrl and click the link.

Assuming that you've enabled the

Load middle-clicked URLs in new tabs option on the

Tabbed Browsing pane (choose

Tools, Options and display the

Tabbed Browsing pane to see the options available for tabbed browsing), you can also click a link with the middle button of your mouse (even if the "middle button" is a scroll button) to open that link in a tabbed window.

3.

OR Drag a Link to Tab Bar

If the

Tab bar is visible (in other words, you have at least two tabbed windows open), you can drag a link and drop it on an open area of the bar to open that link in a new tabbed window. If you drop the link on an existing tab, the contents of that tabbed window is replaced by the linked page.

4.

Close a Tabbed Window

To close a tabbed window, click its

Close button (the

X ), or right-click the tab you want to close and choose

Close Tab from the context menu. To close all tabs but one, right-click the tab you want to keep open and choose

Close Other Tabs from the context menu.

When you close multiple tabbed windows, you might see a warning reminding you of what you are doing. Click

Close Tabs to continue.
