Using tabbed browsing is a general skill that applies to all web browsing that you do. It can help you speed up the work you're doing on the web, and make some difficult jobs much easier.

Below are a number of introductions to using tabs in your web browser. You can review any of them. Or if you prefer, check out several to compare and really get the point.

Tabbed browsing works very similarly regardless of which browser you use. But I've noted the browser shown in case you want to have it match closely to your own web browser. You might prefer a video or a written page depending on your personal learning style.
