This is a userinterface-functionality issue that needs attention. The undo
feature in the Mozilla Browser is under utilized. One area would benefit from
this functionality: "just closed tabs". The recovery procedure for a just closed
tab can be [whine]horrendous[/whine]. The user either must remember the
referring page, if it is still active, or use the go/history. Go is woefully
inadequate for this purpose; It is only relevant for the current tab. History is
difficult to read because every page is organized by domain name. If the tab was
a subset of  a URI (not the main page), it is nested away, requiring the user to
dig.

Tab Mozilla's tabbed browsing is well done, and lets make it even better. 
nb

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a set of tabs or creat new.
2. Close any tab. 
3. Spend a lot of time and head banging against desk trying to remember what
page had the link to that page.

Actual Results:  
Sore head

Expected Results:  
Taken advantage of the under utilized Undo feature.

Bugzilla::Whining is not where you whine at the Mozilla developers via 
Bugzilla... it is for the 'Whine' feature that is included in Bugzilla itself.

Thank you for pointing to the precedent report. Had I not seen this as a long
standing problem, I may have not been arrogant enough to look for the fix.

I found an extension for Mozilla that does just that:

cheers!
