Restore Closed Window Firefox
- To reopen the last closed tab in Firefox, right-click on the tab bar and select “Undo Close Tab” from the popup menu. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+T on your keyboard to open the last closed tab. Repeatedly selecting “Undo Close Tab”, or pressing Ctrl+Shift+T will open previously closed tabs in the order they were closed.
- Reopen Recently Closed Tab / Window in Firefox To reopen the last closed Firefox tab, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T (Ctrl+T is for opening a new tab). List of Recently Closed Tabs is available on the Firefox menu itself.
I've closed a Microsoft Edge (25.10586.0.0) window that had multiple old tabs on it restored over multiple starts, while unawares that I'd minimized a single window with nothing important on it. Now if I quit edge, when I next start it with 'reopen last session' it will only open the unimportant window and not the important (recently closed one).
I can try control-shift-T but it reopens only tabs specific to the remaining window's history.If I look in the history, which I cannot search, I am amazed to not see very many of the tabs I just closed. EG a Docker image for Apache Drill, some Github pages etc.
Is reopening the last closed window with all it's tabs a missing feature? This is infuriating. Is there a work around?
I've gradually come to fully rely on Firefox's ability to recover my tabs after any kind of crash. That faith was not entirely ill-founded but what I didn't have a contingency plan for was accidentally closing the Firefox window and saying not to save the session.

You can now do this using the new Microsoft Edge feature that ships with the Creators Update in Windows 10, it's called 'Set these tabs aside'.
While it's not as easy as simply clicking Exit on Chrome or Firefox you can indeed have many New Browser instances open, reboot and click Tabs You've Set Aside and successfully restore your previous browser state.
Edit: Fallout 1 crashes on startup.
Restore Previously Closed Window Firefox
Now with the Chromium version of Edge out, this issue is now fixed.
