What does it mean when your tabs turn green in Windows Explorer 8?

Posted by admin on Wednesday, December 26, 2012

Q.

A. When you open a tab that's associated with another tab (i.e. by ctrl-clicking a link or a few) IE changes their color to make colored groups of tabs for easy identification of groups.

Try it, sometimes they go purple :) When you have a few groups, each has its own color.

Can't Open New Window Or Tab In Internet Explorer 8?
Q. Hi people! So I downloaded this new Internet Explorer 8 and I can't open new window or tab. I mean I can still open it manually, if I will open the tab or window and type in the address, but if I click on some link, it doesn't work. Please help!

A. You should read this post from the IE Blog about opening new tabs - http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/07/18/how-to-make-ie-open-new-tabs-faster.aspx

It's likely that your tabs slowly opening (or not opening at all) are the result of an IE 8 Add-on or two. Does the behavior persist in No Add-ons mode? This post from the IE Blog will instruct you about troubleshooting Internet Explorer with Add-ons disabled - http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx

I hope at least some of this info helps you out.

Q. My TAB bar for IE 8 has dissappeared so every time I open a page I have to open a window. I tried to right click the other toolbars to see if I can bring it back off but the option wasn't there. How do I get the TAB bar back up so I can have TAB's again?

A. Go into the internet options
on the first panel there is an option:
[Change how webpages are displayed in tabs]
Click [Settings] button
Click [Enable Tabbed Browsing] and restart internet explorer.
