Middle click to reopen closed tab

Hello, is there a way to reopen the last closed tab with a middle click on the tab bar? A preference in about:config would be better, or a very simple addon (preferably with only this feature). I don't want to install "monster" addons like Tab Mix Plus or Session Restore.

Thanks in advance.

Control+Shift+T will re-open a closed tab.

Thanks, but using very often the middle click I would prefer using it rather than a keyboard shortcut.

You would need an extension that supports the current beta release to achieve this.

Thanks (and hello!) cor-el, I had this extension installed but it stopped working in version 45 - sadly...

Thanks again :)

You could look at Tab Mix Plus to see if that works for you, but TMP is a very big extension that gets broken quite a very times and would be overkill for just this feature.

There are extensions that offer a toolbar button that might work.

Does disabling multi-process (e10s) work if that is currently enabled?

I'm afraid it doesn't. I keep the e10s disabled in beta since I'm still using extensions not fully compatible with Electrolysis (such as NewsFox).

I used to have this extension installed in the past, and I did my best to get rid of it - successfully. It has too many features for my needs.

Thanks.


edit: the developer of "Middle click to go back" has answered me saying that he would update the add-on. In this case, the problem for me would be solved.
