Reopen Recently Closed Tabs and Windows in Firefix and Chrome

Many times it happens that we accidentally close a browser window or tab and wanted to reopen it if we could. Gtricks (Google Tricks) has posted an article on this, I just expanded it.

  1. I know, this one is old, but I found this on google and found it quite misleading (was it really accurate one year ago?).

    In chrome, Ctrl+Shift+N is a new window in private mode. For reopening a recently closed window instead, just use Ctrl+Shift+T or choose it from the recently-closed-tabs list in the new tab window, as all the tabs closed at once are handled like one tab there with the number of actual tabs in its name.

  2. cool! i was actually searching for an addon that could do the trick but this is better than an addon thank you!

  3. I recenly downloaded Google chrome to enhanse my system and speed. However, I am a real estate agent and my provincial board does not (at least yet) support google chrome. I am in a fix. I cannot access some of the options I need to do my business. How do I safely unsubscribe and go back to just plain ol’ google, without losing any of my stored info.
