I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, to find things, it sounds like the Firefox View > Open Tabs panel might help. Could you take a look? Normally, the Firefox View button (looks like a small file cabinet) is at the upper left. If you removed the button, you could either:

What do you think?

As for moving things, Firefox doesn't have a way to change window sequence; I think that is based on the order in which they were opened/restored.

Helpful?
