To see how this works, open Firefox. After the browser loads your default home page, press Ctrl+T to open a new tab.

The browser offers a variety of options. You can use the pages you’re currently browsing, select startup pages from your bookmarks, or use a blank page. You can also type one or more start page addresses, separating multiple address with a space. And you can specify as many addresses as you like.
You can also customize the behavior of tabs by accessing the menu. To do so, right-click a tab. The menu lets you create new tabs, reload the current tab (also Ctrl+R), reload all tabs, close other tabs, or close the current tab (Ctrl+W).
