Bring killed tabs back from the dead (Firefox 2.0)

Categories: Tips, Internet

Like everyone else, I grabbed the 2.0 release of Firefox yesterday. I won't regurgitate all the neat stuff about it, but I will point out this one very useful feature: if you accidentally close a tab you can bring it back from the netherworld by hitting Shift+Cmd+T (on a Mac) or Shift+Ctrl+T (on Windows).

This is worth giving up some brains space for remembering. How many times have you closed a tab and then immediately wished you hadn't? Or 5 minutes later wished you hadn't? I can't count the times I've done that, but maybe I'm just a special brand of idiot (quite possible). As useful as keystroke commands can be, they’re tough to remember. Maybe writing this post will help me remember…
