The browser users face one common problem on a daily basis i.e restoring the closed tabs and browser windows. The problem is real when you use different browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc. and you are supposed to remember the tab restoration steps of each browser. The tabs and browser windows get closed unexpectedly due to a power outage, sudden Windows updates, an accidental click on “X” or maybe an instantaneous computer restart. In any case, you immediately look at the ways that could help you restore the closed tabs quickly.

Closing a browser can eventually close all your tabs. If you closed just one tab, you can restore it with the keyboard shortcut, but if an entire browser is closed, you would have to follow a set of steps to restore tabs in each browser window separately. 

How to Reopen Closed Tabs in Microsoft Edge App?

So the answer is yes, Microsoft Edge is the replacement for Internet Explorer. Below are the instructions to reopen closed tabs and browsing sessions in Microsoft Edge.

To open the Closed Tab/Tabs:

If you have not closed the entire browser window yet but accidentally closed any tab or tabs, you can use a keyboard shortcut to reopen it. Use “CTRL + SHIFT + T” to get the recently closed tab back. You can use it repeatedly to reopen the closed tabs in the exactly same order as you closed them.

To open the Browsing Session:

1. In the browser, click on three dots at the top right corner of the window.
2. Go to Settings of the browser.
3. At the left-side pane, click on the “On start-up” option.

Imagine you are working on an assignment or a project for which you need to do broad research and all of a sudden your browser window gets closed. 

This is a common issue. When multiple tabs are opened in one browser window, you may accidentally close one tab in an attempt to open it. Sometimes due to a Firefox tab crash, your entire browser window may also get closed. There could be many more reasons, for example, sudden power outage, unexpected Windows updates, automatic PC restart, etc. that close all your important tabs and research work all at once.

Many times, we have opened a dozen tabs all at once that we need at the same time. It is not efficient to bookmark all tabs and therefore we keep on restoring those tabs whether or not we need them. An accidental click on ‘X’ is unimaginable, as you can lose all your important research in a second.

In any case, you look for ways to reopen closed tabs in Firefox. For this, there are two methods. To restore closed tabs in Firefox, you can either follow a step of actions in each browser window of Firefox or auto-restore all the tabs in one or many browser windows with just one click. So we’ll go through both methods and see which one is more convenient and efficient.

How to Restore Recently Closed Tabs in Firefox?

There are two ways to undo the close tab in Firefox. 

1. Right-click on the tab bar, and from the pop-menu, select “Undo Closed Tab”. This will open the tab you closed accidentally. Notice, this will only open the one tab you recently closed.
2. An alternative is to restore the tab by entering the keystroke shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + T”. This will also open the last closed tab on Firefox.

When you repeatedly use this shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + T”, the browser will keep on opening the previously closed tabs in order.

If you accidentally closed the entire browser window and want to reopen all the closed tabs of that window at once, follow these steps:

1. Click on the menu button on the right side of the browser toolbar.

If you work on multiple tabs and Google Chrome windows, you might have accidentally closed the browser window or tab on your browser.

This is a common issue faced by every browser user. When a dozen tabs are opened in one Chrome window, it becomes very difficult to find the one you are looking for and sometimes you mistakenly close the tab due to the mess on the window. To eliminate this headache, you often open more windows of the same browser, adjust their window size, and position them on the screen for easy access.

The problem doesn’t end here. There are still chances that your entire Chrome window gets closed with an accidental click on “X”. 

In any case, your research gets closed and it is a cumbersome process to reopen recently closed tabs on Chrome manually by searching them again. To avoid this, you can follow certain steps to restore the chrome tabs.
