As mentioned previously power users or surfers usually have a multitude of window tabs open at any one time. The reasons vary however it's basically an optimization of time. That is whilst a web surfer is reading a particular page they're loading another page in a tab in the background.
Firefox has an excellent feature called "open link in new tab" which will create a new tab and commence loading the link in that tab. The beauty is that you stay on the page you were viewing allowing you to continue uninterrupted whilst the browser is busy loading the other page.
Why would you do this ?:
- The page that you're currently looking at contains so many interesting links that if you start clicking on the link on the page you may lose track of the original point or page you landed on.
- You have a very slow internet connection and surfing in this way allows you to compensate for slow internet speed and allows you to optimize your time.
- Allows you to veto the new content and close the tab if you're not interested in that link.
