I'm so happy!

Since I've been using Firefox, I've gotten very dependant on tabs. I hate to navigate away from a page just for a link, and I've grown irritated with the "new windows" thing you do with IE. So my time on the library computers was annoying for a reason other than the icky mouses - I couldn't tab! Nooooo!

*grins*

Today they forgot to lock a computer down properly. So now I have my firefox, and my tabbed browsing. Yay!

I am just curious - why is tabbed browsing better than just having a new window?

Sell me on it. ;-)

(Although I am hoping to be gone in a few minutes, so if i don't reply right away it's not because I am ignoring you...) :-)

New windows pop up over what I'm reading, and usually are much too large minimized (I need it either small when minimized or fullscreen - any other way irritates me to death), and clutter up the taskbar.

Tabs don't pop up over what I'm reading. This is a big plus. You don't notice it when you're used to opening new windows, but once you fall out of that habit it becomes very annoying. And, yeah, all that other stuff :)
