Question

How to open a new tab in the existing Firefox browser using Selenium WebDriver (a.k.a. Selenium 2)?

Answer 1

The code below can open a link in a new Tab.

String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.RETURN);

driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

 

The code below will open empty new Tab.

String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"t");

driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

 Hope this helps!
