Hello,

I had 2 Firefox browsers open, 1 for work & 1 for games. I restarted my computer, & tried to open the Work tabs, which I shut down 1st before the games tabs but only the last set of games tabs reopen. How do I get the "Work" (shut down before the "games") tabs to reopen? TomMulvihill99@gmail.com

Thank you! Tom Mulvihill 562 650-0747 TomMulvihill99@gmail.com

Hi Tom, you may be able to view the closed tabs that you are looking for by looking in your history. You can do this by clicking on the three lines in the top right and then clicking history. This should show you a list of the recent webpages you had open.

You can check to see if you can restore that closed window. "History -> Recently Closed Windows/Tabs"

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
