I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and can't seem to find a feature I used quite often:

If I accidentally close a tab, I could right-click and select an option to reopen the closed tab.

Where is this feature in Firefox 4?

Right-click on an existing tab and select Undo Close Tab.

The keyboard shortcut is the same: Ctrl + Shift + T. (Mac OS X it's + Shift + T.)

    Thanks. I always used the history tab and re-opened it there. +1

    It's grayed out for me, so this doesn't seem to work... Apr 12, 2011 at 22:37
  • Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work on Firefox 29. I guess they have changed this shortcut.

If I click the "Firefox" button I can still navigate to History > Recently Closed Tabs.

Al Everett is correct. If you are looking for the shortcut in a Mac OS X system, it's command + shift + T

I personally use an add-on called Tab Mix Plus. Among other things, it allows you to restore tabs by showing a "recently closed tabs" list when you right-click the tab bar.

Rather than a shortcut you might want to use a button. In this case you need an add-on. As it has already been mentioned there is "Tab Mix Plus", which has this feature. Additionally here are other Firefox add-ons with such a button:

I also use Ctrl + F12, but can't work out if it's a Firefox standard or from an add-on.

  • Must be an add-on; doesn't work for me.
