In Brave, Undo Closed Tab doesn't work for me. It should supposedly work with Ctrl+Shift+T, as per an online search. Like Chrome, the built-in session save and restore (after a crash or close) is mostly miss, with few occasions of hits. It's good at blocking ads, but these other factors are enough to keep me on Firefox.


sort by: page size:

Firefox has two hot keys- C-S-t for undo closed tab, and C-S-n for undo closed window.

It’s slightly different from the chrome behavior where both of those actions are treated as the same, and both are on ctrl+shift+t. I switched chrome->firefox several months ago and I’m still not used to it. 99% of the time C-S-t does what I want, that other 1% it’s a different key.


Safari does; the shortcut is Cmd-Z, because you're "undoing" the closing of the tab.

Reopening a closed tab via Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+T has been a longtime feature of Firefox, since at least early 2007.

Firefox 4.0: no support for "Reopen accidentally closed tabs"? 3.x supports this, not sure about 4.x but seems like a feature that wouldn't be dropped.

I use Auto Tab Discard if anyone is looking for something similar for Firefox.

Chrome has that feature, but unlike in Firefox you lose your history for that tab, so no way to go back. You get the page you were on and that is it.

That's a Brave (mis)feature, I tested and it works for me alt-tabbed out on Firefox.

Awesome, thank you. This will fix most of my accidental firefox closing. Too bad that I sometimes fatfinger ctrl-w as ctrl-shift-w.

apple-shift-t reopens closed tabs in firefox

Control-Shift-T will reopen the most recently closed tab in Firefox (the equivalent command in Opera is Control-Z).

Firefox does that in debian stable. but it's supposed to restore your tabs like they were

You can also middle-click on a tab to close it. Works in both Chrome and Firefox.

Open in [X] Firefox Focus

and it forgets everything when you close it.


In Firefox:

1. Go to about:config

2. Search for browser.ctrlTab.previews

3. Change value to `true`

4. Close tab

Now your ctrl+tab should work as you want.


Firefox is the only browser I know of that lets me hide the close X button from all tabs. Even on firefox it's a pain because you need to fiddle with the useChrome.css. Well, better than other browsers that won't even let you do that.

I was using suspend-tab but update or two ago it stopped working correctly. As stated on add-on's page:

> (On the other hand, because this addon calls very unstable/internal APIs of Firefox itself, this can be disabled by Firefox's update in the future.)


I've never used Firefox 1.x so haven't used that UI, but it sounds like something they could've made configurable but didn't want to, for whatever reason.

However, in all the tabbed browsers I've used, Ctrl+F4 closes the current tab.


I can confirm its on Firefox too. Having freedom to go back is one of the important things about a user interface.

Other browsers like Brave have this feature for a while. It's another example of Firefox getting late to the party.
