Hello! I have a window which includes many important tabs. and then I opened a new window to browse other things. And then I closed the previous important window, thinking I can open it later with the help of "restore closed windows" in history. After a while, However, somehow, I can't find it there! But I do need the important window(including the tabs)! Please help me! Thank you very much in advance! (I really don't want to search in the sea of history...) My version is 3.6.13.

Can you restore that closed window via History > Recently Closed Windows ?

Thanks for your reply!

No, I have tried that. There are only two other windows to be restored. My desired window isn't there. I searched my question just now. Only because the value of my: "about:config": "browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo" is 2? Does this mean I only have 2 windows that can be restored? So when I open the 4th window, I can never restore my important 1st window?
