      Why, when on Fullscreen and you do Ctrl+T you have to press F11 again to go to your new tab?

          @leocg What I mean is why do you have to go off of full screen to go to a new tab when every other browser (as far as I'm aware of) lets you go to a new tab whilst on Full Screen

            @ThefoREVerDarhk Like I said, because that's how full screen was designed to work since the day it was invented.

            Full screen means absolutely no UI, no interface, so if you need the interface to do something, then you need to exit full screen.

            BTW, have you already tried the keyboard shortcuts to change tabs?

              @leocg Just making sure you understood, and no, it's either going to work properly or not, I'm not going to use buttons for something that shouldn't be needed in the first place

                @ThefoREVerDarhk If you don't want to use buttons while on full screen, what would cause full screen to be exited, you can try using keyboard shortcuts.

                  @leocg If to go to a new tab whilst in full screen, I have to: Ctrl+T and F11. That's a flaw that needs to be fixed, or I have to Ctrl+T plus whatever the shortcut is to go to the new tab I just opened; that's a flaw that needs to be fixed.
                  Take Microsoft Edge for an example: I use full screen. I press Ctrl+T, it opens up and goes to the new tab. If I want to go to a different tab, I just go to where my tabs are, and they're brought down so I can select one of them.
