Firefox tip: reopen a closed tab

Have you ever closed a tab and didn’t mean to? Personally, I do it all the time. Not quite as much now that Firefox has the little “x” on individual tabs. Anyway, if it does happen to you, you can use CTRL+SHIFT+T to reopen the last closed tab. That’s a must-have feature for a browser that supports tabs. I think it’s been out for as long as the browser existed, but I never knew about it until today (CMD+SHIFT+T for Mac users).

Great tip! I do that all the time!

You should check out the Tab Mix Plus extension – it provides a wealth of new tab-related features (i.e. move tab to new window, lock tab, protect tab, duplicate tab, copy tab url, etc.).

That’s awesome. Finally, a “New Tab (after this one)” option. I’m sick of dragging a new tab back to a specific place in the lineup—I thought I was the only one who did that! Thanks for the link.
