I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!
radix ( @radix@lemm.ee ) 64•11 months agoHow would people function without knowing this?? Maybe I’m just young, but this has been a thing as far back as I can remember (maybe 2010 or so), on all browsers I’ve used (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
Aram855 ( @aram855@feddit.cl ) 3•11 months agoIt got removed from chrome a while ago. Have to use an extension for it. radix ( @radix@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months agoThat’s terrible. I’m so sorry.

blackbelt352 ( @blackbelt352@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•11 months agoOr Ctrl+Shift+P for Firefox
lolola ( @lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•11 months agoI save that one for secret fun time
That’s last closed tab, not window.
Edit: actually it will reopen a window too if the last closed tab was on it.
ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) 2•11 months agoI think that’s a fairly recent change, I remember reading it in the changelogs. There was also something else relating to the feature, but now I don’t remember

For a recently closed window.
I_Has_A_Hat ( @I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml ) 14•11 months agoLiterally every browser has this feature, it’s not unique to Firefox.
ILikeBoobies ( @ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ) 1•11 months agoFirefox didn’t have it for the longest time so a lot of people don’t know
harpuajim ( @harpuajim@lemmy.ml ) English2•11 months agoSo we’re giving them props for something that’s been available on chrome for a decade?
ILikeBoobies ( @ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ) 1•11 months agoNo, we are letting people know it’s there
Lenny ( @Lenny@lemmy.zip ) 11•11 months agoI can still feel the pain when it’s 2 AM and you meant to Ctrl + Shift + T and you’re muscle memory leaks in and hits you with the Ctrl + Shift + W.
FYI there’s a confirm close option that will mitigate this terrible scenario, for anyone that’s been there before.
HeavyRaptor ( @HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip ) English11•11 months agoShift+ctrl+T is usually the keyboard shortcut to bring back closed tabs Shift+ctrl+N is to bring back closed windows (doesn’t work on private browsing windows)
ProperlyProperTea ( @ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months agoI’ve found that it does work in private sessions
voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) 6•11 months agoctrl+shift+t
shitescalates ( @shitescalates@midwest.social ) English4•11 months agoChrome crippling the reopen tab option(they removed from right click menu) is what drove me back to Firefox.
chatokun ( @chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•11 months agoNot here to defend chrome, but Ctrl+Shift+T works on chrome as well still.
shitescalates ( @shitescalates@midwest.social ) English4•11 months agoI don’t use keyboard shortcuts. And the right click menu only has like 5 things, and that was the option I used the most. It was a pointless change.
page ( @page@discuss.online ) 1•11 months agoWaht… I haven’t used chrome in years. Unbelievable they’d remove that.
thericcer ( @thericcer@reddthat.com ) 4•11 months agoI rely on this all too often…
circuitfarmer ( @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•11 months agoIt also persists through a reboot, so if you shutdown or reboot with tabs open, it will ask you to restore the previous session when you next start it after the boot.
If you didn’t restore it, but didn’t open any more tabs, you can close it again, reboot, etc, and this option will still work to get your tabs back when you’re ready.
RagingNerdoholic ( @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca ) English4•11 months agoYou can just press CTRL+SHIFT+T and CTRL+SHIFT+N continually to reopen closed tabs and windows, respectively, in the order they were closed.
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months agoI highly recommend Tab Session Manager if you’re a crazy person like me.
cr3w ( @cr3w@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•11 months agothanks, didn’t know this one but seems highly helpful
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoSaved my ass many times.
NikkiNikkiNikki ( @NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social ) 2•11 months agoitsa great extension for people with internet problems
rustyricotta ( @rustyricotta@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months agoI know this, but I’m peeved that when I shut my computer off with Firefox open, I have a 50/50 chance of it automatically bringing all my tabs back on the next launch.
Forcen ( @Forcen@lemmy.one ) English3•11 months agoOnly the last three or so windows though, so if you got a few pop-ups before you press that you might be screwed…
…unless you have backups of an old session file, then you can use this tool to restore a list of those tabs: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html
There is also this handy addon for saving backups of windows like that to a txt list of urls: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/urls-list/
