400503 - Move "Recently Closed Tabs" menu in SeaMonkey to a more obvious place

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 599731

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

In Firefox "History>Recently Closed Tabs" gives a list of recently closed tabs, and these tabs can be reopened from this menu.

As far as I can tell there is no similar option in SeaMonkey. Can this be added? I would suggest "Recently closed tabs" be either a submenu of "Go" or a top level menu.

On a related note, it would be useful if this menu had an "empty this list" or similar option at the bottom, but this is a less important feature. Also the top item in the list should show "Ctrl+Shift+T" next to it, as at present there is no way for the user to know about this useful shortcut.

Reproducible: Always

Check out File->Recently Closed Tabs. Maybe this menu entry should be moved to the Go menu?

No sign of that menu in any stable build I've found, but now you mentioned it I've found it in Suiterunner nightly.

This item does need to be moved to a more logical place. I certainly couldn't find it without being told where it was.

The "File" menu concerns itself with the current page or opening new locations. An item relating solely to places that have already been visited in that session doesn't really belong here. A far more logical place would be in the "Go" menu, which concerns itself pages already visited.

Also this menu doesn't have any "Clear" or similar command.

Modifying bug then and confirming.
