Kitty Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm just trying out Firefox to access the Internet. It keeps on saying do I want to close/save/quit the tabs (or something like that). What are tabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you right-click on a link and select 'open in a new tab' (or click on the wheel of your mouse), the link will open in a separate tab.Try right-clicking on this link.You can configure your tabs options by going to Tools / Options / Tabs.

Théière Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 [quote user="Cathy"]Clair - I still don't understand what tabs are? What do they do? Also what are plug-ins? Air fresheners [:D]Thanks for the help.[/quote]Tabs allow you to open more than one window at a time (you keep the original window open in background) we have them in IE you know [;-)]Plug ins are small (hopefully small) programs like PDF reader from adobe or real time vewer that sort of thing.

Kitty Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thank you SOOOOO much. Oh how I hate this technology sometimes. One last question. When I elected to have Firefox as my default browser, it asked me if I wanted to import all the Internet Explorer passwords etc. Because I was worried about this, I clicked 'no'. How do I undo this because I would quite like them imported now?P.S. Before today, I thought plug-ins were air fresheners as well. But then, until this week, I thought cookies were American biscuits.From a Computer Virgin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Tabbed browsing is one of those things that once you've experienced it you'll wonder how you ever managed without them [:D]A bit like the wheel on your mouse [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
