someone closed my Firefox with several tabs. Can/how can I recover them?

I had a second Firefox window open, so that's all I'm getting now, with none of my tabs.

Lots of 'to-do's' on those tabs, and time spent searching. So if there's a way to recover, would much appreciate.

Did you check "History -> Recently Closed Windows/Tabs" to see whether you can restore this window ?

Note that best is to use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
