Spawned from bug 924886 comment 11, point 2. Our closed tabs on Metro are currently not restorable when you close and re-open the browser. Also, the JSON format for the way they are saved in sessionstore.js is slightly different from desktop.
With this patch, after closing a tab in desktop or metro and switching to the other mode, you can re-open the tab with ctrl+shift+t
