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!
ctrl+shift+t
CTRL+SHFT+
tWill reopen your last closed tab.
niceee!!
Literally every browser has this feature, it’s not unique to Firefox.
Firefox didn’t have it for the longest time so a lot of people don’t know

So we’re giving them props for something that’s been available on chrome for a decade?
No, we are letting people know it’s there
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).
Chrome crippling the reopen tab option(they removed from right click menu) is what drove me back to Firefox.
Waht… I haven’t used chrome in years. Unbelievable they’d remove that.
Not here to defend chrome, but Ctrl+Shift+T works on chrome as well still.
I 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.

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 Screenthey 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).
I’m using the app Screenshot with a delay on Gnome.
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?
Command + Shift + T on mac os, and Ctrl + Shift + T for Windows
You’re welcome
Don’t forget Ctrl + Shift + N
Or Ctrl+Shift+P for Firefox
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). :)
