In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

Just checked, it appears ctrl+shit+T will also reopen a window if the last closed tab was on it.

You can just keep pressing it to reopen as many closed tabs as you need.

Hm, was that always the case? I seem to remember me trying to check this years ago and it didnt work then

Nope, it was literally added this month :) See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/116.0/releasenotes/

The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (Ctrl + shift + t or Command + shift + t depending on your operating system) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed. If there aren't any tabs or windows to reopen, this command restores the previous session. This change is in anticipation of upcoming changes to recently closed tabs.

"In anticipation of upcoming changes" sounds ominous :D

"shit" is my new favourite key from now on
