How to Turn Page Tabs On or Off Use a desktop-sized workstation. Open Settings → Appearance. Find Use Page Tabs. Turn it on to keep supported pages open as tabs, or off to use standard single-page navigation. Save the Appearance settings. The tab setting applies to the current device/browser. Repeat the setup on another workstation if that computer should also use tabs. If the control is unavailable, confirm you are using a supported desktop layout.
