So there was a nuisance. After a long and persistent search for information on the Web, the desired page was finally found, but the tab disappeared somewhere. What happened? How to return a closed tab?
Many users still have memories of those times when a page accidentally closed had to be searched 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 restore the session. Where to look for them?
In 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, it was possible to return the last tabs. Now this method is no longer available. In the browser system files, you can find the Notepad document, which displays the history of links. But the search for the desired session in this file is equivalent to shamanism, accessible only to the masters.
So how to return a closed tab to those who belong to the category of standard users who are not familiar with the basics of programming? To do this, there is an elementary combination of buttons: Ctrl + Shift + T. By pressing these keys, the user can restore closed pages one at a time.
You can use the browser history. In the desired settings item there is now a special line - “Recently Closed Tabs”. Sometimes this function may not seem the most convenient, since several sessions are restored at once. To open the desired page, you have to open the history and select the tabs manually.
In Opera browser
How to return the last closed tab in Opera browser? In the same way as in the browser from Google, since both of these browsers are largely the same. The already known hot keys or the menu item “Recently Closed Tabs”, as well as independent searches in the browser history will help.
In urgent cases, if the browser was terminated unexpectedly, the next time Opera is launched, it will offer 4 options, among which you can choose: “Continue from the place of disconnection”.
At Yandex
The browser "Yandex" runs on the same engine as Google Chrome. Accordingly, similar methods are used to restore accidentally closed web pages here.
In Mozilla Browser
Already on the main page, Mozilla offers to recreate the last session, if Firefox is installed by default. The button can not be overlooked. How to return a closed tab with it? Just click. If the home page is another page, then you can use the browser history. The principle of work in this case is no different from restoring tabs in Google Chrome.
If the browser was forced to close, then when you restore it, a window automatically appears with a suggestion to open recent tabs. Manually open lost pages using the command “about: sessionrestore”, which is typed in the search bar.
If the above events did not bring the desired result, then the session did not manage to be preserved in history. Then how to return a tab which is accidentally closed? Will have to stock up on extensions for similar cases in the future.
Extensions will help in the search for the loss
All these methods, unfortunately, are not always effective. Sometimes the tab does not have time to remain in the browser history, and only those who are with the computer "at you" are able to return it. For the rest, “dancing with a tambourine” in order to search for an escaped session in the system folders is unlikely to succeed.
So, how to return a closed tab to a standard PC user? Extensions will come to the rescue - special additions for working with web pages. They exhaustively solve problems with sudden closures and accidental loss of sessions. This kind of software includes Session Manager or TabHamster.
