What is Sidebar?

+ +

Sidebar is a customizable area in your browser where you can keep items + that you need to use all the time—the latest news and weather, your + address book, stock quotes, a calendar—and many other available + options. Sidebar presents these items to you in tabs that are continually + updated.

+ +

&brandShortName; comes with some Sidebar tabs already set up, but you can + customize Sidebar by adding, removing, and rearranging tabs.

Tabbed Browsing

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

What is Tabbed Browsing?

+ +

Tabbed Browsing lets you open more than one web page in a single window. + Each web page has its own tab across the top of a single browser window. + Each tab appears on the Tab Bar. For example, you can visit mozilla.org, + icq.com, and cnn.com within one window instead of three windows.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Click this to open a new tab.
+ tab bar +
Tab being viewed.Click this to close the tab being + viewed.
Tab Bar
+ +

You don't need to have several windows open to visit several web pages; + thus, freeing up more space on your desktop. Instead, you can open, close, + and reload web pages conveniently in one place without having to switch to + another window.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Setting up Tabbed Browsing

+ +

There are several ways to customize Tabbed Browsing. For example, you can + change your preferences to open new browser tabs from the Location Bar. You + can set up Tabbed Browsing in other ways too, such as loading new browser + tabs in the background so the first page is kept on top while the second page + is loading. To learn more about setting up Tabbed Browsing in + &brandShortName;, see + Browser Preferences + - Tabbed Browsing.

Moving Tabs

+ +

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 an indicator to show where the tab will be + moved. Alternately, you can use + keyboard + shortcuts to move tabs within a window if desired.

+ +

Note: The keyboard shortcuts don't work when a text + box has focus.

+ +

Installing Add-ons

+ +

Session Restore

+ +

&brandShortName; periodically saves your browsing session (open windows + and tabs, including form data) to disk. When you start &brandShortName; with + Session Restore enabled, the windows and tabs from your previous session + will be restored. This is especially useful if your previous browsing session + ended unexpectedly (e.g. your computer crashed or a website you visited forced + &brandShortName; to terminate). &brandShortName; will automatically restore + the previous session if "Restore Previous Session" under "Display on Browser + Startup" has been selected. If you chose to not be warned when you close a + browser window with multiple tabs open (see Tabbed + Browsing preference panel), &brandShortName; will open a page from + where you can choose which windows/tabs from the previous session you want to + restore. The same will happen if &brandShortName; crashes repeatedly.
