It happens to the best of us, trust me. But don’t worry! There’s an easy way to bring back those closed browser tabs on your phone or computer.

Guess what? The clever folks who created these web browsers are one step ahead of us. They knew we would occasionally mess up and close tabs by mistake, so they made it super simple to reopen them. Thank goodness for that, because I do it all the time!

Now let’s get to the good stuff. I’m going to walk you through the steps to reopen closed tabs on four major web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Oh, and don’t worry if you prefer one browser over another – the methods I’ll show you work pretty much the same for all of them. So choose the one you like best!

Bring back those tabs, baby!

In this guide, I’ll cover all the main browsers that let you reopen closed tabs: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. No matter which one you use, you’ll be back surfing the web in no time.

Google Chrome

Let me show you how to bring back tabs you accidentally closed in your Chrome browser on your phone or computer.

When you close a tab on your Android phone, keep an eye out for a quick message at the bottom of the page. It gives you a chance to undo the closure, but you have to act fast.

1. Open Chrome and tap the three dots in the top right corner.
2. Choose “Recent tabs”.
3. Select the tab you just closed from the list.

If you’re using your computer:

Simply right-click on the tab bar and select “Reopen closed tab”. Voila, your recently closed tab will come back to life.

1. Click on the three lines in the top right corner of the Chrome window.
2. Choose “History” and then “Recently closed” or “History”.
3. Select a tab from the list to reopen it.

Firefox: Reopening Closed Tabs

Hey there! Did you accidentally close a tab on Firefox? Don’t worry, I’ll show you how to reopen it on your phone or computer!

1. First, open Firefox on your device and tap on the menu icon.
2. From the menu, select “History”.
3. Now, choose the page you want to reopen by tapping on it.

If you’re using Firefox on your computer:

No worries, the desktop version of Firefox has a feature to reopen closed tabs. Just follow these steps:

1. Click on the three-line menu icon at the top right of the Firefox window.
2. From the menu, select “History”.
3. In the list of tabs, choose the one you want to reopen.

Now, here’s a tip: if you closed multiple tabs and just want to reopen a single one, don’t worry! Instead of using the “Restore Closed Tabs” option in History, simply select the specific tab from the history dropdown menu.

Safari

So, you’re using Apple’s Safari browser? Great! Just like other browsers, Safari has its own way of reopening closed tabs.

1. First, open Safari and look for the two square icons at the bottom left of the screen. Tap on them.
2. Next, tap and hold the ‘+ icon’.
3. A few tabs will appear. Choose the one you want to reopen.

If you accidentally closed a tab and want to get it back without going through all those steps, there’s a shortcut. While Safari is still open, simply press Command + Z, and just like magic, your last closed tab will reappear.

Now, what if you closed multiple tabs and want to reopen them in the order you closed them? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Select ‘Edit’ and then choose ‘Undo Closed Tab’. Keep repeating this process until all your tabs are open in the order you closed them.

To open a new tab in Safari, select and hold the ‘+ icon’ located at the top right corner of the browser window.

Choose the tab you want to open from the options presented.

Opera

If you’re familiar with Chrome, you’ll find Opera’s method of reopening tabs pretty similar, since Opera is based on Chromium.

1. To begin, open Opera and look for the menu icon at the top right. Tap on it.
2. From the menu, select ‘History’.
3. You’ll see a list of tabs you recently closed. Simply select the one you want to reopen.

If you’re using a computer, there’s an even easier way to reopen tabs on Opera. Just right-click in the tab bar at the top of the screen and choose ‘Reopen last closed tab’.

1. On Opera’s desktop version, select the menu icon located at the top left of the browser window.
2. From the menu, choose ‘History’.
3. Select a tab from the list to reopen it.

Now, I know there are many other browsers out there, but most of them are either based on Chromium or similar to Safari or Opera. So, even if the syntax might be slightly different, you’ll likely be able to reopen tabs in any browser by following the examples in this tutorial.

If you happen to come across a browser that works differently, please do let me know! I’m genuinely interested in exploring new browsers. I’ve already tried a lot of desktop browsers, including some concept ones like Opera Neon and Vivaldi. But I’m always open to trying others!
