Tabbed Browsing makes surfing the web easier

Tabbed browsing enables you to open multiple websites in a single browser window. You can open webpages in new tabs (by clicking on the small empty box after the tabs), and switch between them by clicking the tabs you want to view. To close a certain tab, simply click on the 'X' on that tab.

If you would rather use your keyboard than your mouse- use the following shortcuts to use tabs even easier:

To do this Press this
Open links in a new tab in the background CTRL+click
Open links in a new tab in the foreground CTRL+SHIFT+click
Open a new tab in the foreground CTRL+T
Switch between tabs CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
Close current tab (or the current window if tabbed browsing is disabled) CTRL+W
Open a new tab in the foreground from the Address bar ALT+ENTER
Switch to a specific tab number CTRL+n (where n is a number between 1 and 8)
Switch to the last tab CTRL+9
Close other tabs CTRL+ALT+F4
Toggle Quick Tabs (thumbnail view) on or off CTRL+Q

Brainteaser

Heart of Darkness,
Coat of Grain,
Was once alive,
Now feels no pain,
Never walks, but
Leaves a Trail.
Circle head and pointed tail.
Grows shorter as the day goes on-
Its waistline is a hexagon.

What am I?
