Browser tabs
This activity allows you to select the desired browser elements using the "Browser picker".
The tab selection parameter offers two options: specify the tab number manually or use the "Use tab number by order" checkbox.

The "Use tab number by order" checkbox denotes the tab strictly by the order of the actually opened tabs in the browser. That is, in a similar case (when the desired tab is actually the third), the Browser Picker will work exactly with the second tab of the browser.
