Here are a few simple tips I’ve found helpful to improve the tabbed browsing experience in firefox 2. Maybe many of you already knew this tips from Firefox 1.5.
- Ctrl+W closes the tab you are looking at right now.
- I didn’t mean to close the tab. Ctrl+Shift+T reopens it.
- Middle-click (click the middle mouse button) on a link to open it in a new tab.
- Middle-click on the tab title to close it.
- Set the browser.tabs.closeButtons preference (*) to “0” to display a single close button at the end of the tab strip (like Firefox 1.5). “2″ removes all the close buttons, “1” puts a button on every tab that is big enough (default), and “0” puts one only on the active tab.
- Set browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to “0” to disable tab scrolling until the tabs get really small.
If the video doesn't work in Internet Explorer, download and install Firefox with Google Toolbar for free.
