How can you change the restore tab behavior to be chrome-like

When I try to use the ctrl+shift+t shortcut to restore previously closed tabs, it only restores what tabs were closed in the active window. If I have multiple Firefox windows and I close a tab in a window, I have to have that window selected to restore the tab, I can't restore it from another window. If I close an entire window by accident with multiple tabs I can't restore them with the shortcut. Chrome lets you restore an entire group of tabs and restore from other windows, not only in the current window. Is there any way to modify the behavior so it acts like chrome?

You would first have to restore that closed window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and then you can restore tabs in this window.

Is there a way to bundle the behaviour in ctrl+shift+t? I don't wanna have to use 2 different shortcuts for the same function. Then there's the other half of the problem with the shortcut only restoring tabs in the active window. If not, either way the shortcut is kinda useful but I have it over-ridden by a shortcut extension.
