In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows

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!

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.

Yeah it does break the pattern but there isn't much of an option that keeps everything super clean like tjat, unless it's something like ctrl alt N for a private window.

Yeah, I think that would be a better option, and then an eventual private tab would be intuitive too.

lmao yeah this one is programmed deep into my muscle memory with how often i close the wrong tabs

or close a tab only to see something interesting right as it closes

That's last closed tab, not window.

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

I think that's a fairly recent change, I remember reading it in the changelogs. There was also something else relating to the feature, but now I don't remember
