Here is the sample example to open multiple tabs and switch between them through Selenium Webdriver:

• Code Block:

  import java.util.Set;
  
  import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
  import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
  public class WINDOW_HANDLE_ITERATE_Firefox 
  {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
      {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.get("http://www.google.com");
          String parent_window = driver.getWindowHandle();
          System.out.println("Parent Window Handle is: "+driver.getWindowHandle());
          System.out.println("Page Title is: "+driver.getTitle());
          ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open('http://facebook.com/');");
          new WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
          Set<String> allWindows_1 = driver.getWindowHandles();
          System.out.println("Total Windows: "+allWindows_1.size());
          for(String hand1:allWindows_1)
          if(!parent_window.equals(hand1))
          {
              driver.switchTo().window(hand1);
              new WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("Facebook"));
              String first_child_window = driver.getWindowHandle();
              System.out.println("First Child Window Handle is: "+first_child_window);
              System.out.println("First Child Window Page Title is: "+driver.getTitle());
              driver.close();
          }
          driver.switchTo().window(parent_window);
          System.out.println("Current Window Handle is : "+driver.getWindowHandle()+ " which is same as "+parent_window +", which is the parent window handle" );
          driver.quit();
      }
  }
  

• Console Output:

  INFO: Detected dialect: W3C
  Parent Window Handle is: 6442450945
  Page Title is: Google
  Total Windows: 2
  First Child Window Handle is: 6442450949
  First Child Window Page Title is: Facebook – log in or sign up
  Current Window Handle is : 6442450945 which is same as 6442450945, which is the parent window handle
