    How 5 simple tab tricks make your Firefox browser so much more productive

    Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETI’ve used Firefox on and off for decades. I’ve always found it safe, reliable, and easy to use, but one issue has discouraged me from making it my default browser: tab management.Out of the box, Firefox’s tab management is pretty bare bones. You have tabs at the top and just a scant few features to enable/disable. That doesn’t mean you can’t give the open-source browser a helping hand. With a few extensions and features, you can improve Firefox tabs to be almost on par with the likes of Arc Browser, Opera, and Safari.Also: 5 reasons why I use Firefox when I need the most secure web browserLet me show you how.1.

To unpin a tab, do the same thing, only select Unpin Tab. Pinned tabs have been a part of nearly every browser I’ve used, and I can tell you that they do a great job of boosting your tab management game. More
