The new Firefox doesn't let me reopen JUST MY LAST TAB CLOSED.

more options

I used to be able to open just the last extra tab I had closed. Now it seems Firefox only has the option of opening lots of old tabs all together. This is a nuisance and a loss of a useful function. So I've installed Classic Theme Restorer which is a pity.

Otherwise, you all do brilliant work.

I have a guess about this...

On the classic History menu, "Recently Closed Tabs" is a folder name and if you click it, the folder expands. On the "3-bar" button menu, there is no folder, instead when you click History all of the recently closed tabs are listed right there. You can click any one of them to re-open that tab. The new "Restore closed tabs" button will restore ALL of the listed tabs. So... don't click that one. ;-) (Actually, it's not really new. It just moved from the bottom of the list on the menu to the top. It would be a good idea to put "all" back in the name.)

In case it's of any assistance:

I usually use Ctrl+Shift+t to re-open a tab I just closed. Sometimes, I right-click a tab and choose Undo Close Tab. These usually are quicker than looking at the list if I just want the last thing I closed.
