How do I return a closed tab? A guide for users of the most popular browsers

So, there was a nuisance. After a long and stubborn search of information on the Web, the page you need is finally found, but the tab has disappeared somewhere. What happened? How do I return a closed tab?

Many users still have memories of those times when the accidentally closed page had to search again for a long time. Browser developers have heeded the complaints of unfortunate users - now you can use special functions that will help the browser to restore the session. Where to find them?

Chrome browser

Not so long ago, you could find a file called Last Session. If you rename it slightly, replacing the first word with Current, you managed to return the last tabs. Now this method is no longer available. In system files of a browser it is possible to find the document "Notepad" in which the history of links is displayed. But the search for the required session in this file equals shamanism, which is accessible only to the masters.

Since to return the closed tab to those who belong to the category of standard users who are not familiar with the basics of programming? For this there is an elementary combination of buttons: Ctrl + Shift + T. By pressing these keys, the user can restore the closed pages one at a time.

You can use the history of the browser. In the desired settings item, there is now a special line - "Recently closed tabs". Sometimes this function may not seem most convenient, as several sessions are restored at once. To open the desired page, you have to open the history and select tabs manually.

In the Opera browser

How do I get the last closed tab in the Opera browser? In the same way as in the browser from Google, since both of these browsers are in many ways the same. Help is already known hotkeys or the menu item "Recently closed tabs", as well as independent searches in the history of the browser.

In case of emergency, if the browser's operation was terminated unexpectedly, the next time Opera is launched, it will offer 4 options, among which you can choose: "Continue from the disconnection point".

In the "Yandex"

The browser "Yandex" works on the same engine as Google Chrome. Accordingly, the methods of restoring a casually closed Internet page are similar here.

In the Mozilla browser

Already on the main page, Mozilla suggests recreating the last session, if Firefox is installed by default. The button is impossible not to notice. How do I return a closed tab with it? Just click. If the home page is another page, then you can use the history of the browser. The principle of operation in this case does not differ from the restoration of tabs in Google Chrome.

If the browser was shut down, then when you restore it, a window appears prompting you to open the recent tabs. To open lost pages manually, you can use the "about: sessionrestore" command, which is typed in the search box.

If the above events did not bring the desired result, then the session did not have time to remain in history. Then how do I return a randomly closed tab? It will be necessary to stock up extensions to similar cases in the future.

Extensions will help in the search for loss

All these methods, unfortunately, are not always effective. Sometimes the tab does not have time to stay in the history of the browser, and only the one who is with the computer "on you" can restore it. For the rest, "dances with a tambourine" in order to find an escaped session in system folders are unlikely to succeed.

So, how do I return a closed tab to a standard PC user? Extensions will come to the rescue - special additions to work with Internet pages. They exhaustively solve problems with sudden closures and casual losses of sessions. This kind of software includes Session Manager or TabHamster.
