Restore previous tab button
I had this neat little thing in my 56 version (the plus icon) that restored previously closed tab - I could also pick from drop-down list which tab to restore. I couldn't find it among currently existing "restore previous tab" extensions.
Does anyone recognise what could it be? Is it an extension or built-in firefox button? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Do you mean the button with the + on it?
I'm pretty sure that was the button of the Session Manager extension. (Edit: New screenshot attached.) The Session Manager extension wasn't updated to work in Firefox 57+ but there are other options:
(1) Built-in closed tabs list
The "Recently Closed Tabs" list is on the History menu, which is available as a sub-menu under Library, or on the optional Menu bar, or using the optional History toolbar button. However, it's at least one extra click.
(2) New session management extensions
These are the session management extensions I'm aware of, so you have some additional choices to investigate/try out:
Use database storage:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-boss/
Use bookmark storage:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-sync/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-sessions/

You can search for an extension.
I was already mentioning this problem in this topic but I forgot to attach a screenshot. Now that thread is archived so I can't edit it, but it's the same issue I'm talking about.
I already have one extension installed (Undo Close Tab by Manuel Reimer) that does fairly the same job but if I can have a build-in button I'd rather have that and save on extensions.
There is no toolbar button, otherwise there wouldn't be extensions required. You can left-click the "List All Tabs" button at the at the right end of the Tab bar to find an "Undo Close Tab" item listed as the first entry. You can also use customize mode to drag the History (clock) button to the toolbar.

@jscher2000 Yep, that's what I was asking about. The button with +
I forgot where did that come from but it was present in my firefox version before I did the upgrade (next to that is that blue floppy disk Session Manager icon which I'm 100% sure of)

You don't see the Undo Close Tab with a Right-Click on any Tab?

@Pj I do, but I prefer that way instead of right-clicking.
