    Multiple web pages
    HI is it possible to have more than one web page on screen at the same time? If so how can I do this? With the work I am doing at the moment it would be a great help to have facility. I use Mozilla Firefox and Vista. My computer has the following 2 ghz 2046mb 32 bit Dell Inspiron manufactured in 2007.

    Many thanks for any help

    Thanks for quick answer. I have 10 windows opened at the moment. I really need to view 2 at the same time on the same screen, in other words, half the screen is window 1 and half the screen is window 2.

    If you have so many windows open then you can't use the arrange windows feature, so just resize the 2 windows you want to view.

    Time for a high resolution screen then.
    I'm running a 17" on my XPS at 1920 x 1200 and I can easily have 2 screens running side by side.
    I have had 4 viewable running at once, but it gets confusing quickly.

    Great, it can be done. Have been working on computers from home for years and never knew this could be done. Could have saved myself lots of trouble. Only thing guys, how do I actually do this resize business? I can't seem to find it on Firefox.

    You need to open multiple WINDOWS, not just tabs.
    Then you can either drag to the required size, or simply right click the task bar and tile windows from there.

    Thanks for info. I know I probably sound stupid but how or where do I do this. I have no idea where to start. Maybe if you give me a list like the following I might be able to do it.

    Example

    1. Go to --------
    2. Press --------

    I am really grateful for your help.

    Tile Windows works if you only have the two windows open.

    Have you never sized an object using Windows? You just need to position the cursor on a side or corner of the object so the cursor becomes a two-headed arrow. Then left click and drag.
