How to get you tabs back if you accidentally closed Chrome or Firefox
Consequently, you've successfully closed a browser window that contained a number of important tabs. Whoops. The combination of Ctrl + Shift + T will not restore any other Chrome or Firefox windows that are currently open. Only if the window you killed completely exited the browser will this trick be effective. However, do not be discouraged; not everything is lost. There's still a chance to recover those tabs, and let us show you how.
Firefox
Firefox does not provide as much flexibility as Chrome, but if you have recently closed the window, you should be able to recover it.
Launch Firefox and navigate to the three-line icon located in the upper right corner of the window. Located directly beneath the address bar, on the far right, is a hamburger icon that can be clicked. Select History, followed by Recently Closed Windows from the drop-down menu. You'll see the three windows that were closed the most recently. At least in contrast to Chrome, hovering your cursor over the tabs in a window does not reveal any additional information about the tab in question. You'll only see a list of the tabs that have been used the most recently in each window. Choosing a random entry or selecting "Reopen all windows" will help you find the window you're looking for if you're unsure which one you're looking for in the first place. Despite the fact that this is not the most elegant solution, it will save you money nonetheless.
Chrome
To access the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of a Chrome window, click the button with three dots. It should be on the same level as the address bar on the far right of the screen. Select History to see a list of all the windows and tabs that have been closed. "2 tabs" or "7 tabs" are the labels for windows that have been killed. They are represented by a rectangular icon. Hitting the back button on your keyboard will reveal the tab names and thus the window you wish to re-open for each of those entries. As soon as you've found the one you're looking for, select "Restore window."
Other Chromium-based browsers, such as Edge and Opera, operate in a similar manner; however, in Opera, you'll access your history through the Opera menu, which appears in the top left corner of the browser window.
