you can have multiple pages open under seperate tabs in one browser. Go to FILE and choose NEW TAB to open a new one.

its easier if you let it open the tabs bar on start then just either rt click/open in new tab or double click in the tabs bar to open a new clean tab.

Also Ctrl+T opens a new, blanco tab and Ctrl+N opens another Firefox browser.
Also double-click in tab-area opens a blanco tab.

I didn't discover the power of tabs for ages.

using BBS as an example.

middle mouse button opens a new tab when you click on any Html code/address.

So when you are looking down the list of threads, you middle click on all the threads you want to read. The thread then open in a new tabs while you continue to read.

It saves all the back and forward business , which saves lots of time.

Applies to any web page (say reading newspapers etc)

I have Opera Firefox and Navigator. I only use IE for MS sites or others that won't work with any other browser. Just too many security holes showing with IE on a regular basis.

Opera is nice in that you can zoom in on images as well as text. Firefox won't do the former.

hmm, Staga, I followed the link to the extensions, but didn't see anything obvious, which extension is that?

You can also set up image zoom with mouse gestures. I have it set up so a right-click + mousewheel up or down to zoom in/out text and images.
