Is there now a way to make the "Reopen Closed Tab" actually reopen closed tabs again?

A while back the behavior of the ctrl+shift+t shortcut changed from reopening tab in the current window to reopening tab in the current window or reopening last closed window which for me and a lot of other people too made it worse. There's been a thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1421356 but it's been archived without a real solution. Is there now a way like a about:config toggle to bring back the old functionality? I really miss the old behavior.

I set that to false and it still behaves the same way - ctrl+shift+t reopens last closed window instead of tab. I also tried setting browser.sessionstore.closedTabsFromClosedWindows to false and that didn't do it either.

Any other suggestions that I should try?

It really really irritates me. I want to throw the computer out of the window every time I press ctrl+shift+t with reopening the last closed tab in mind and it opens a closed window instead.
