How to open a new window on a browser using Selenium WebDriver for python?

Question

I am attempting to open a new tab OR a new window in a browser using selenium for python. It is of little importance if a new tab or new window is opened, it is only import

Answer 1

I recommend to use CTRL + N command on Firefox to reduce less memory usage than to create new browser instances.

import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
body = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body')
body.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 'n')

The way to switch and control windows has already been mentioned by Dhiraj.
