Switch between different tabs in a browser (firefox)

[Bipin Kuriakose]

Hello, is there a way to switch between different tabs in firefox using the page title? 

Lets say, i have www.google.com and www.yahoo.com tabs open in my firefox. I need to switch between these two based on the page title names "Google" and "Yahoo" ? 

Any best approach in selenium?

You can move through them by the tab ID, the tabs ordering saved in array and you can move through these tabs by calling the array number for the required tab. Do you want example?

Thanks

Yes, you can use window ids to switch to different tab/window.

1. First get all the window handles.
2 Store the window ids in variable.
3. Switch to specific window id.
4. Now control moves to specified window ids tab.

Note: Once ur operations gets completed don't forget to switched back to main window.

Thanks and Regards,

Case 1:
You can use getWindowHandle API to get the window handle of the tabs and then use switchTo API to switch between them. But this approach is useful if you have the two pages opened in different windows.
Sample code:
String parentHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
List<String> windowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
//Switching between handles
for(String handle : windowHandles) {
    driver.switchTo.window(windowHandles.get(i));
}
//Switch back to the parent handle.
driver.switchTo.window(parentHandle);

Case 2:
If you have the pages opened in different tabs in the same window, then the above approach does not help as in this case there is only one window handle and hence switchTo(String windowHandle) API does not help.
In this case, the following approach seems to work:
1. Open the new tab using Ctrl + t
2. Switch between the tabs using Ctrl + \t (Ctrl + Tab)
