User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

Close tab by mistake
Reopen just after using keyboard shortcut

Actual results:

Tab takes time to load because its memory was freed

Expected results:

Tab is not freed from memory immediately, allowing an immediate restore if the tab was closed by mistabe

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
Hopefully it will be taken into consideration in the future.
I'll mark this Enhancement as New for visibility, and assigned a component in order to get the dev team involved.
'Firefox-Tabbed Browser' team, if it's not relevant to you, please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Regards,
Jerónimo.
