Reopen last closed tab in Firefox

7 Comments

Sometimes we accidentally close a tab in Firefox we didn’t mean to close. Instead of looking the website we want in the History, you can do this trick to reopen the last closed tab.

If you accidentally close a tab, you just need to press “Ctrl + Shift + T“. And the last closed tab will be reopened in your Firefox.

Try it. Open a new tab, close the tab and press “Ctrl + Shift + T”. Very helpful huh? :d

Edit: You also can open last closed tab from History > Recently Closed Tabs. Thanks to Izzat for this tip. 😉

Congratulations to Firefox Users!

I must wish my congratulations to all Firefox users because you guys are better patchers than other internet browser users.

Based on analysis by Secunia, 5.19 percent of all Firefox 2 users had missed security updates. 5.40 pecent for IE7. 9.61 percent for IE 6 users. And Opera was the most abandoned in security updates which is 11.96.

“People have to choose to use Firefox,” said Mike Cherry, an analyst with the Directions on Microsoft research firm.

Opera was the least to be patched because the updates is not done automatically instead you need to check the update by yourself by clicking on Help and Check for update. But for Firefox users, the updates are delivered via the browser itself. So, Firefox users are more secure and up to date.

Do you use Snap previews on your website? I hope you remove it because it is irritating me and maybe for some other peoples too. Lol…

But thanks to AdBlock Plus because of it, you no need to remove your Snap from your website just because I ask you to do so (Eh?). This Firefox extension will blocks all Snap previews from being pop up when visitors mouse over on the links.

  1. Download AdBlock Plus and install it.
  2. Next, restart your Firefox and then click Tools > AdBlock Plus.
  3. Add spa.snap.com/* to set new rule in AdBlock Plus.
  4. Restart Firefox and no more Snap.com previews when you browsing websites.

Attention to all Firefox users. There are some Firefox entensions that you should avoid. This is because the extensions will collect data and uniquely identifying users without notifying them. To be safe, you should disable and remove the extensions from your Firefox usage.

List of extensions that you should avoid can be found at Mozillazine Forum. And I suggest you forward this post on your site too.
