- When you perform any action from the Browser package on the Internet Explorer browser tab, if multiple tabs with the same tab title are opened in the same browser window, the matching title is not searched in sequence starting from the first tab. The tab activation and browser action might be performed on different matching tabs in sthis case.
- If the same tab title occurs on different windows, then the action is executed on a tab with a matching title in any window.
