我们提出了一项研究，调查如何以及为什么Mozilla Firefox的用户在浏览网页时使用多个标签和窗口。21名参与者的详细网络浏览使用记录在13至21天的时间内，并补充了日记条目和访谈的定性数据。通过检查他们的标签使用的几个措施，我们表明，我们的参与者有强烈的偏好使用标签，而不是多个窗口。我们报告了他们引用的使用选项卡的原因，以及与多个窗口相比的优势。我们确定了几种常见的标签使用模式，浏览器可以明确支持。最后，我们看看标签的使用如何影响网页的修订。我们的大多数参与者切换标签的频率比他们使用后退按钮的频率更高，这使得标签切换成为浏览器中第二重要的导航机制，仅次于链接点击。
We present a study which investigated how and why users of Mozilla Firefox use multiple tabs and windows during web browsing. The detailed web browsing usage of 21 participants was logged over a period of 13 to 21 days each, and was supplemented by qualitative data from diary entries and interviews. Through an examination of several measures of their tab usage, we show that our participants had a strong preference for the use of tabs rather than multiple windows. We report the reasons they cited for using tabs, and the advantages over multiple windows. We identify several common tab usage patterns which browsers could explicitly support. Finally, we look at how tab usage affects web page revisitation. Most of our participants switched tabs more often than they used the back button, making tab switching the second most important navigation mechanism in the browser, after link clicking.
