This happens to me all of the time. I'll be using Firefox to surf the net, open way too many tabs, close a few to open more and realize that I need to go back to a website. Well luckily there are a couple of tricks to help you get your tabs back. All you have to do is hit 'Command+Shift+T' for a Mac or 'Shift+Ctrl+T' for a PC and your last tab will appear. If you don't like keyboard shortcuts, just go to history and recently closed tabs and voila- you will see all your recently closed tabs!

    This is helpful, thanks. I hate having to open a new browser window.

    The newest version of Firefox has this function in it. Just right-click on a tab and choose "Undo Close Tab". I think there's even a quicker shortcut key.

    Firefox has a lot of really nice functions, and is better and (IMO) easier than Explorer. To get the latest version, go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.

    Sweet. I'm always closing a tab and then realizing that I meant to close a different one!

    Install the "Session Manager" extension and you'll never lose a tab again.

    there's an add-on that let's you hit ctrl+z to "undo".

    of course this action comes integrated with opera Smiling
