I'm using the Firefox Webdriver in Python 2.7 on Windows to simulate opening (Ctrl+t) and closing (Ctrl + w) a new tab.
Here's my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('https://www.google.com')
main_window = browser.current_window_handle
# open new tab
browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 't')
browser.get('https://www.yahoo.com')
# close tab
browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 'w')
How to achieve the same on a Mac?
Based on this comment one should use browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.COMMAND + 't') to open a new tab but I don't have a Mac to test it and what about the equivalent of Ctrl-w?
Thanks!

close() and driver. quit() are two methods for closing a browser session in Selenium WebDriver. It is necessary to know when to use each method in a test script.
sendKeys(clickl); Then hold all the opened window ids in an ArrayList and shift the driver focus to the new tab with the switchTo method. Then pass the window id of the new tab as an argument to that method.
Open a New Tab await driver. get('https://selenium.dev'); // A new tab is opened and switches to it await driver. switchTo(). newWindow('tab'); // Loads Sauce Labs open source website in the newly opened window await driver.
While doing stuff with selenium multiple browsers with multiple tabs will normally opens in order to close these tabs close() and quit() methods are used. close() method is used to close the current browser window on which the focus is set, on the other hand quit() method essentially calls the driver.
There's nothing easier and clearer than just running JavaScript.
Open new tab:
driver.execute_script("window.open('');")

open a new tab:
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
close a tab:
browser.close()
switch to a tab:
browser.swith_to_window(window_name)
