Tabs everywhere...

Ok, I just noticed all the tabs currently open on my PC. I'm typing on the 13th tab (yes 13th folks !!!) of Firefox and all of them are useful (for various reasons ) Then I have 6 tabs open in Jcreator (the program I'm writing Java code in). Tabs here, tabs there, tabs everywhere... Life would have been so difficult if not for all the tabs. Ok I think I'm starting to bore now... So hey, I saw (noticed that is) my life's first tab in firefox. Where did you see your life's first ? Do you like tabs ? Are you the conventional guy who prefers not to use tabs ? Do you have a pet cat named tabby ? Say something, anything ! I'm bored ...

Tabby!! That was funny..Oh man, you code? No wonder you must have a bunch of tabs there.lol I saw my first tab in Firefox too. It was the best thing ever.Made surfing life a whole lot easier.I am a tab person too. I don't open too many windows. I normally stick to may be 2 windows, each having multiple tabs. Oh gosh, where did Tabby run to! I better sneak up behind her.

LOL. May be you are right! I mean, may be I didn't know the importance of tabs and noticed them there, just as you didn't realize it. But then FF was where I opened new tabs for myself. I am pretty sure of that.

Hey, you know what, when I saw that for the first time, I didn't even know that it would be called "tab" and would gain such an importance. Just thought it was a convenient way to display many windows in one small window. Guess, they picked up the same cue ....

Ya, IE is really bad. Microsoft is so big and all,definitely bigger than mozilla but still they can't make a good browser ? Tabs take so much time to switch and open in the first place... They should really do something and fast...

Microsoft claims that internet explorer is more secure than any other browser....but for us speed also matters ..as for the security firefox is also very good ..apart from that we also have security suits installed ..so who cares about ie!!!

Heya pratyush! I'm a tab man too, but I rarely have more than 10 open at any given point in time. Right this minute I have 9 open because I like to open up discussions I want to respond and reply to and this makes life so much easier. I have another site open that I check back to every now and then as well. No wonder you're bored if you're messing around with Java code! I much orefer playing with Morse Code myself. It makes these cool dit-dit-dot-dot noises!

Yup, tabs did revolutionize windows. IE was just too stubborn to adopt it which I think why firefox gain popularity. Tabs reduces the cluttered windows in my desktop making it clean and manageable.

I had the pleasure of dealing with those multitude of windows in the early Windows release, in Win 3.1 even. Firefox is definitely better.

Sometimes I have to face them even today, when I go to cyber cafes, some of them don't have FF and an old version of the IE. So its windows upon windows again !!!

Yes it does, imagine if I had all those windows open instead of tabs. I couldn't even imagine that ! What a wonderul idea it was of tabs. Firefox is still better than IE cause the latter takes unbearably long time to open and switch tabs...

Yup, that is the best way to surf buddy, surfing two pages parallely. What a wonderful idea it was to introduce tabbing in browsers, wasn't it ?

yes it would have been difficult if ther were no tabs . It is always difficult to handle to many files at the same time but in case of tabs they are handy
