The Power of Quick Access Tabs

  • No Accidental Closures: These tabs lack a close button to prevent accidental closures (you can still close them by right-clicking and selecting “Close Tab”).
  • Change Notifications: A blue highlight (glow) alerts you to updates on your Gmail tab.
  • Safe Browsing: Links from Gmail open in new tabs, ensuring your Quick Access tab remains unchanged.
  • Automatic Loading: Quick Access tabs, including Gmail, load automatically when you start Firefox.
