User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0

Steps to reproduce:

Consider the following two situations:
a) undo Closing a WIndow (with all it's tabs), i.e. Ctrl+Shift+N
b) Select "Open All in Tabs" in a Bookmarks Folder

When these are done from an:
a) empty window (i.e. one with only one tab, which has no site loaded)
b) empty tab in a window (that might have other non-empty tabs)

Actual results:

Then it currently:
a) opens another window (with the tabs/sites) of the most recently closed windows, leaving the empty window behind
b) opens all the bookmarks in new tabs within the same window, leaving the empty tab behind

Expected results:

It would be nice IMO, if it could instead:
a) use the already empty window for that
b) use the empty tab for the first bookmark

It may make sense to do (b) also only if there was an empty window (i.e.not other tabs)... ideally this would be configurable (but perhaps not exported to normal users).

Plus it would IMO also make sense to consider a window with multiple empty tabs as empty in such situation.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
