923707 - Open recently closed window without requiring any windows to be open

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Michael Thompson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

Closed all open windows in OS X but left FF open
Hit Command + Shift + N


Actual results:

Nothing


Expected results:

I would think it should have opened the last window open. It works as expected if I open a new window (Command + N) and then hit Command + Shift + N but I feel like I shouldn't have to perform this extra step to get the most recently closed window and I'd imagine some users might not know to do that.

Is it reproducible with an old version? Only Mac is affected?

The proper key combination for open recently closed tabs is Command (or Ctrl) + Shift + T and it works.

Command (Ctrl) + Shift + N indeed is not working in Firefox. Using chrome, this command opens Private Browsing.

I suggest we close this issue as Invalid and file a new issue/enhancement request for the "Command (ctrl) + Shift + N" key combination and leave the bug number here in a comment.

This bug is about recently closed windows, not tabs.

It is working, at least as long as you have a browser window open.
