User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a new Firefox window. Load a tab and then close it, so that there is a closed tab to reopen for that window.
  2. Keep only one empty tab. It can be pinned or not, it does not matter.
  3. Use the “Reopen Closed Tab” function.

Actual results:

The closed tab is reopened inside the one empty tab. This behavior in inconsistant because when there is more than one tab, closed tabs do not reopen inside an empty tab.

Expected results:

The closed tab should open in a new tab, keeping the empty tab unchanged. This would be consistant, since this is what happens when there is more than one tab.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
