How to open a closed tab in mozilla

Most Internet users have at least once encountered a situation where a lot of Internet resources with interesting data were opened in the browser and at the same time they were accidentally closed or a forced reboot occurred due to a malfunction of the personal computer.

It is quite normal that a person has a question, how to open a closed tab in Mazil with the data that he has been looking for for so long?

What is a tab

This element belongs to one of the parts of the graphical interface. It allows you to switch between multiple files within one application.

The instrument itself is a protrusion with an inscription located on the border. The link is activated using the mouse, after which the contents of the page are reflected in the selected area of ​​the screen. Typically, these elements are arranged horizontally in order, but sometimes they can be placed vertically.

Quite often the name “bookmark” is used in relation to such a link. It received this name due to its metaphorical connection with bookmarks, which allow you to quickly access the required page. At the moment, this concept conflicts quite strongly with the “saved link”.

Sometimes due to improper user operation, an element may disappear. If a similar situation occurs, then do not be upset, since closed pages in the browser can be restored quite easily. Below in the article we will look at the best options on how to return a lost resource in the Mozilla search engine to its original state.

Resuming lost tabs in Mozilla

In order to resume accidentally closed sites, you can use one of the proposed methods.

If the necessary pages were closed with extra pages, then you will need to simultaneously press the combination of Shift+Ctrl+T buttons on the keyboard. After clicking these buttons, the closed page will be returned.

Using the "Tab Menu":

  • Above the search bar of the browser, click on the inscription “Site Map”.
  • In the context menu that pops up, select the “Restore closed tab” section.

After this manipulation, the previous session will be returned to its original state.

Via the Session Manager add-on:
