Secret 1337 Trick - Undo Close Tab in Firefox

Posted By : Dan Wilson     June 6, 2007 8:44 AM

I just found an interesting feature in Firefox 2. If you have an open tab, then close it, you can right-click the tabs and choose 'Undo Close Tab' and the banished tab will return.

Update:

Jim Priest, who turned me on to the Microsoft Update Reboot Fix points out that the following key combos work:
CTRL+T = new tab
CTRL+SHIFT+T = restore last closed tab

I've use CTRL+T countless times. It never dawned on me to try CTRL+SHIFT+T. Thanks again Jim!

I'm also a big fan of the TabMixPlus extension which enables you to 'lock' tabs which prevents you from closing them accidently.

Oh my god, that just made me giddy with excitement. FireFox is sooooo cool. Thanks for the dynamite tip.

Thanks, I've been wondering how to do this. Opera has had it forever - when I accidentally close a tab, Ctrl-z brings it right back. I've been hoping there was a way to do it in Firefox. Although I think Ctrl+z is a lot more intuitive (Ctrl+z = undo what I just did).

I use this feature more often than I care to admit. I'm the king of moving too quickly for my own well-being. Using Tab Mix Plus gives me access to the last 5 or so tabs I've closed. It's been a huge time saver on more than one occasion.

@Jim,

I have updated the post to include your fancy Key Combos. Thanks for adding to the conversation.

Ctrl-Shift-Tab does not work with Firefox 3.0.

Can anyone confirm this or is it just my installation?

Uh - I meant Ctrl-Shift-T
