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!

    yeah if I did ctrl-shift-T and didn’t get my tab back on a modern browser I’d assume it was a bug lol

      This about reopening entire Windows that you closed, which you can undo since version 116, released August 1.

      The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (Ctrl + shift + t or Command + shift + t depending on your operating system) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed. If there aren’t any tabs or windows to reopen, this command restores the previous session. This change is in anticipation of upcoming changes to recently closed tabs.

        Nope, this feature has existed forever. They just changed the shortcut, previously it was Ctrl-shift-T for re-opening the last closed tab and Ctrl-shift-N for re-opening the last closed window.

          Ohh, this makes much more sense. Thanks!

          Yup, I’ve been using Ctrl-shift-N for years, so long that I don’t recall it ever not being a thing. Basically, as soon as I needed to reopoen a closed window, I just added “shift” to do the opposite of opening a new window and it worked.

        Uh, no, it’s certainly much older than that. I know because I have literally used it.

        This has to be something else.

        Edit: yeah, it’s not a new addition. It’s under “changes” in the patch notes. Big difference.

      Yeah! That still works for tabs it looks like, but you have to do Ctrl+shift+N to get closed windows back.
