How To Change the Order Of Tabs In Firefox

The tabbed browsing interface in Mozilla Firefox allows you to open multiple Web pages simultaneously within a single window. As you open more windows, the tabs shown in the Firefox toolbar decrease in width, providing a clear picture of how many windows you have open. Additionally, the browser supports changing the order of your open tabs, allowing you to organize your open pages in whatever order you want.

Instructions

1. Click a tab you want to move to a preceding position, hold down on the mouse button, and drag the tab left. The new tab position is indicated with a blue line. Release the mouse button when you want to drop the tab into the new position.

2. Click a tab you want to move to a succeeding position and, holding down on the mouse button, drag the tab to the right. Release the mouse button when you want to drop the tab into the new, succeeding position.

3. Right-click a tab and select "Pin as App Tab" to move the tab permanently to the furthest left of the other tabs. The pinned tab will remain in place until you right-click it and select "Unpin Tab."
