Reopen Closed Tabs in Firefox

Closed Tabs With an Open Window

1. Step 1

   Click on “History” from the Firefox browser window of the closed tab. This will open a list of options. Toward the bottom of the list is the option “Recently Closed Tabs."

2. Step 2

   Click on the side arrow with “Recently Closed Tabs.” This will open another list. This list contains the names of all recently closed tabs, plus an option to “Open All in Tabs.”

3. Step 3

   Select your desired tab by clicking on it. If you are not sure which recently closed tab it is, you can alternatively select “Open All in Tabs” in order to view them all. Select the correct tab, and close out of all unneeded tabs.

When the Window Closes

4. Step 1

   If closing your tab also closed your window, not all is lost. Open a new window and click on “History."

5. Step 2

   Between “Home” and the grayed-out “Recently Closed Tabs” is the history of the sites that have been recently visited. Your closed tab should appear in this list. If you have your settings adjusted to erase your history when you close out of Firefox, this option will not work.

6. Step 3

   To check or change your “History” settings, click on “Tools,” then “Options,” and then “Privacy." Make sure to check the option to “Remember visited pages for the last [insert any number here] days."
