Just a minute ago, I was browsing the internet and typing as usual, and I got a little popup, as shown in the image.
A few days ago, on regular Firefox at work, I’d accidentally lost my tabs through misclicking to close out the whole browser window. So given I have recently had the annoyance of losing my tabs, I’m quite grateful I was saved from making a similar mistake today!
This feature is on by default in FireFox….
Yeah, OP must have in unchecked that “ask before quitting” checkbox in Firefox a long time ago and forgot about this feature (as did I).
But it wasn’t always. I remember accidentally closing the whole browser many times. Q and W are too close for comfort.
… along with spyware telemetry
Fuck FF and the grifting Mozilla Foundation.
Long live LibreWolf! Long live the fighters!
No need for the hate. Without firefox, librewolf cannot exist.
Oh, I still kick $5/mo to Mozilla for FF maintenance. But I hate FF and Mozilla Board with a passsion.
Ctrl+shit+t will get back whole windows in Firefox if you need it
Ctrl+shift+T will get you your last closed tab, or all of your tabs if you closed multiple at once. Ctrl+shift+N will reopen the last closed window, including all the tabs it contained.
Thanks for the advice!
Not if you closed it with Ctrl+q
You can also enable this in the Firefox settings, btw. IDK if it’s default these days, haven’t used a completely fresh install in a while.
when you close firefox accidentally, you can open it again and press Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen all the tabs from the previous session.
I hate this feature. Chrome does it too.
