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!

    You can just press CTRL+SHIFT+T and CTRL+SHIFT+N continually to reopen closed tabs and windows, respectively, in the order they were closed.

    How 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).

      Because I’m continuously using them when I work, it’s emails, calendar and chat. They always stay there, the rest varies.

    Shift+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)

    I wish Firefox had a method to restore windows after a restart. Losing all my tabs across multiple windows due to work required updates is a huge pain.

      I don’t understand this thread, this is exactly what I’m talking about in my OP.

    I 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.

      Or just Ctrl+shift+N will reopen that window. It has been there for years, perhaps more than a decade, and is the perfect companion to Ctrl+N, just like Ctrl+shift+T is the perfect companion to Ctrl+T.

    How do you people make the screenshots of popups in Firefox? Every time I press Print Screen they just keep fading away.

      Ctrl+shift+S will do Firefox’s screenshots. Windows key + shift + s is the windows snipping tool to take a screenshot of anything (aside from hdcp content like trying to screenshot a Netflix video that’s copy protected).

    In my FF I have set the “reopen all tabs that were there when I closed” option, so it never has been a problem

      Does it work when you had two windows opened? Does it reopens both or only the last closed one?

          I’m not a fan of that shortcut though:

          • Ctrl+T - open new tab; Ctrl+shift+T - reopen closed tab
          • Ctrl+N - open new window; Ctrl+shift+N - reopen closed window
          • Ctrl+P - print (or apparently preview on Lemmy); Ctrl+shift+P - private window?

          It breaks the nice pattern.

      That’s last closed tab, not window.

      Edit: actually it will reopen a window too if the last closed tab was on it.

    I use this several times per day when I close the wrong tab (or window). :)
