Learn how to customize tab settings in Firefox to enhance your browsing experience.

Tabs are an essential part of your browsing experience in Firefox, allowing you to keep multiple websites open in a single window. Firefox provides several options to customize how tabs work to suit your preferences. This article will guide you through these settings. =Review and change tab settings= #[[T:optionspreferences]] #Select the {menu General} panel and go to the '''Tabs''' section. ;{for fx129}{for not win}[[Image:Tab settings simplified]]{/for}{for win}[[Image:Fx129TabSettings-win]]{/for}{/for}{for not fx129}{for mac}[[Image:Confirm_MactabModal]]{/for}{for linux}[[Image:Confirm_LinuxtabModal]]{/for}{for win}[[Image:Fx94settingsTabs-Win]]{/for}{/for} *'''Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order:''' Select this setting if you want to use the {for win,linux}{key Ctrl+Tab}{/for}{for mac}{key Control+Tab}{/for} keyboard shortcut to switch through open tabs in the order you viewed them rather than in the order they appear in the Firefox window.{note}'''Note:''' If you want to use {for win,linux}{key Ctrl+Tab}{/for}{for mac}{key Control+Tab}{/for} to switch to the tab next to the current tab and {for win,linux}{key Ctrl+Shift+Tab}{/for}{for mac}{key Control+Shift+Tab}{/for} to switch to the previous tab, deselect this setting (clear the checkbox).{/note} *'''Open links in tabs instead of new windows:''' This setting controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.{note}'''Note:''' If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this {for win}option{/for}{for mac,linux}preference{/for} and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.{/note} *'''When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately:''' When you middle-click on a Web link (or hold down {for win,linux}{key Ctrl}{/for}{for mac}{key Command}{/for} while clicking with the left mouse button), the page will be opened in a new tab.
