So you call someone else a noob for not knowing how to put their laptop battery back in, yet you don't even use tabs?

It's nice to be able to have a bunch of tabs open, quit, restart the machine, open firefox again, and still have all the same tabs open.

So, yeah, I use them.

Is there some way to scroll through the tabs using a keyboard shortcut?

Old habits are hard to break. Been doing it the "old way" forever. And I actually use them for related stuff. Thing is, I'm usually doing about 50 billion things at once.

The main problem is that when I'm done with one window, I still have a tendency to right click on the FF window in the taskbar and hit "close," only to realize there were other tabs in there. I've gotten a bit better with time, but it still happens.

But do you see how ludicrous that way of thinking is now? I called you a noob because you don't use tabs and I do. It's completely subjective. Same with knowing how to put in a laptop battery. Just because he can't get it back in doesn't mean you needed to be such an ass about it.

Use the warning window and after time you won't do that anymore. I used to be like that when I switched over from IE but now I always look to my tab bar first before closing.
