Hello, thank you for bringing this up.

Issue reproduced on MacOs12, Ubuntu 22 and Win 11 with Fx versions 102.11.0esr, 112.0.2, 113.0 and 114.0a1 (2023-05-03) with the following steps:

  1. Launch Firefox
  2. You have a new tab open. Optional: in the same tab, open a random site - e.g. https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki
  3. Open a random site in a second tab.
  4. Close the tab opened in step 3.
  5. Press [CTRL/Cmd]+[t] to open a new tab.
  6. Press [CTRL/Cmd]+[w] to close it.
  7. Press [CTRL/Cmd]+[SHFT]+[t] to reopen it.

Note:

  • just Newtab seems to be affected by this particular issue.
  • having a Newtab or a tab with a random site as the base tab seems to make no difference (step 2.).
