Firefox Tip: Open A Closed Tab

I bet you didn't know that you can reopen a Firefox tab you have closed.  Let's say for instance you closed a Firefox tab, but remembered you needed information from it immediately after closing it, or possibly you closed it by accident. 

1. Click the Red "X" or type Ctrl+W to close this tab.

2. Right click on one of the other tabs and select [Undo Close Tab].

3. And Yes! It's back!

The shortcut for this is Ctrl-Shift-T (in contrast to Ctrl-T for a new tab).
Very useful indeed, if you've mistakenly closed a tab.

Or Apple+Shift+T on a mac.

Thank you, that's awesome! Ctrl+Shift+T is the shortcut key for Windows. I didn't know what it was yet.

How weird, Daniel's comment didn't show up for me until today...
