Question

How to open a new tab in the same window session of the browser through Selenium WebDriver command?

Answer 1

Opening a new tab in the same browser window is possible, see solutions for Firefox:

The problem is - once you've opened a tab, there is no built-in easy way to switch between tabs. Selenium simply doesn't provide an API for that.

Instead of a tab, open a new browser window.
