Deepak is right. However what I think the op wants to do is performance test loading each tab, which is implemented in client side code (javascript). The performance of executing client side code is based upon the user's own machine, and browser; which is irrelevant to web application scalability and thus not served by JMeter.
In this case you may want to deliver a comparison of tab navigation across each of your supported browsers, reporting the baseline hardware that the test was conducted with. However unless the tab navigation is a suspect of a poorly performing implementation, it's not worth investigation.
