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!

I can still feel the pain when it’s 2 AM and you meant to Ctrl + Shift + T and you’re muscle memory leaks in and hits you with the Ctrl + Shift + W.

FYI there’s a confirm close option that will mitigate this terrible scenario, for anyone that’s been there before.

Or just Ctrl+shift+N will reopen that window. It has been there for years, perhaps more than a decade, and is the perfect companion to Ctrl+N, just like Ctrl+shift+T is the perfect companion to Ctrl+T.
