Answer 1

To switch between tabs action class does not always works on all browser and on all webdriver. the best way is to use robot class. try this code.

        String website = "https://www.google.com";
        String website1 = "https://www.msn.com/en-in/";
        String controlpath = "C:\\Libraries\\msedgedriver.exe";
        System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", controlpath);
        driver = new EdgeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize(); //  Maximize browser
        driver.get(website);
        System.out.println("Google page");
        
        Robot robot = new Robot();                          
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); 
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T); 
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); 
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T);
        
        //Switch focus to new tab
        ArrayList tabs = new ArrayList (driver.getWindowHandles());
        //System.out.println("Handle info"+ driver.getWindowHandles());
        driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
    
        //Launch URL in the new tab
        driver.get(website1);
        System.out.println("msn page");
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0));
        Thread.sleep(5000);
