How to Fix Browser Tabs

Instead of opening a new Internet browser window when you need to view more than one site at a time, you can create a browser tab. The tab attaches itself to the same window so you don't take over your computer screen with multiple browser functions. However, while using your browser tabs, you may run into issues where the tabs don't function properly. If this happens, you can quickly and easily fix the issue.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet access

Instructions

1. Close the browser window if the tabs function improperly. Leave the browser off for a few moments.

2. Launch the browser again and navigate to your web browser's homepage. These homepages have the latest browser download.

3. Download the updated browser and install it. During the installation process, you are asked to close the current browser window.

4. Open the browser window once the installation finishes. Wait for the opening page to load completely before launching a new tab.
