Return the page you closed. How to restore a closed tab. A few simple methods

Modern users often have to work with a large number of open pages at the same time. If you accidentally close the site you need, or it is closed as a result of a software error, it will be extremely difficult to find it if you do not remember its address on the network. Especially for such cases, the developers have created several convenient tools with which users can restore accidentally closed tabs in the Yandex browser. This article describes in detail all these possibilities.

If you accidentally closed the website you need and would like to reopen it in your browser, you can use the "Last Page" service. With it, users can quickly restore the last closed tab.

In order to open the closed page again, you need to use the hot key combination Shift + Control + T (the letter “E” in the Russian input language). This combination works with any active keyboard layout and with Caps Lock enabled.

With this tool, you can open the last tab you closed manually (for example, using the cross icon). In addition, a certain number of such pages will be stored in the browser's memory, so you can use the combination several times to restore several tabs in turn.

If you close the Yandex browser and open it again, this sequence will be deleted from the computer's memory, and you will no longer be able to return an accidentally closed Internet page in this way.

Arrow "Back"

If you did not close the tab, but simply opened a new site in it, you can use another interface element - the smart Back arrow to restore information. This button is located to the left of the address bar in Yandex browser. Each click on it takes the user one step back, to the previous page visited on this tab.

In addition, you can right-click on this icon to bring up a complete list of all visited pages. Clicking on an item in the list will automatically take you to the corresponding website.

Recently closed

Another interface element in the Yandex browser allows you to display a list of pages that were closed during the current session. To do this, to open it, users need to follow a couple of simple steps, according to this instruction:


You can open these resources by simply clicking on the list items.

If you want to restore a tab that was not just closed, but earlier, you can use the history manager. To do this, call the Yandex Quick Access Toolbar, as described in the previous section of the guide. Hover over the "History" category. Select the option called "History Manager". You can also open this section by simultaneously pressing the Control and H keys on your keyboard (the letter "P" in the Russian layout).

This page contains a complete list of sites that you have ever visited using the Yandex browser. Visits are sorted from youngest to oldest and are conveniently sorted by day of the week. Next to each entry is the time at which you accessed the website. Each entry is a regular hyperlink, and users can easily navigate to the desired resource by clicking the left mouse button, and restore the lost resource.

Bookmarks

If you find some important or interesting information for you, you can bookmark the website where it is located. With the help of bookmarks, users get the opportunity to quickly open any resource an infinite number of times from a convenient panel. In a web browser from Yandex, there are two types of bookmarks - regular text and visual.

If you need to add a regular bookmark, you need to open the website of interest by clicking on the star icon on the right side of the address bar. In the pop-up window that opens, you can specify the name of the created object, and also choose whether you want to place it on the bookmarks bar under the search bar for quick access or in a special directory.

It happens that you accidentally close the desired page. How to be in such a situation? After all, it happens that it took a lot of time to search for this particular site. Do you really need to start all over again? Fortunately, there is a “visit history”, which stores all the sites you visited for a certain period of time. It could be the last few days or months. In this article, we will analyze in detail how to open a closed tab in various browsers. Let's start! Go!

For Chrome, there are only three ways. The first one is the easiest and most convenient. As soon as you inadvertently closed the desired web page, press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + T and the site will immediately return to its place. The second way is basically the same, only you don't need keys for it. Go to the Google Chrome menu (the icon with three horizontal lines in the upper right corner) and select "Open closed tab" from the list. The third way is to open the browser history and restore the web page from there. You can go there through the Chrome menu or by pressing Ctrl+H. Next, in the list of recently closed pages that opens, select the required one and double-click on it with the mouse.

In Mozilla Firefox

For this product, the approaches are similar. As in the first case, just use the hotkeys or open the Firefox menu and go to the "Journal". There you will find the item "Recently closed tabs", in it you can view all the visited sites that you visited recently. Just as in the case of Chrome, select the one you need and restore it with a double click. You can also switch to the Firefox journal using the same keyboard shortcut that is used in Chrome.

Opera

Now let's figure out how to return the closed page of the site to Opera. Again, the first way is to simply press Ctrl+Shift+T. The second option is to right-click on the tab bar area. In the list that appears, select "Reopen last closed tab". The third option is to go to "Recently Closed". You can do this by clicking on the special icon in the upper left corner. And the fourth way is to go to the history of visits. You can get there through the Opera menu or the well-known combination mentioned above.

Yandex

Here the approaches remain standard. Press Ctrl+Shift+T to restore a recently viewed web page, or go to your browser history. You can do this through the Yandex menu. Since Yandex was developed on the basis of Google Chrome, it is quite logical that such procedures are completely identical.

Internet Explorer

For Internet Explorer users, there are two methods:

  • Standard. With Ctrl+Shift+T.
  • In the panel, which is located under the address bar, select "Tools", in the list that appears, click on the item "Reopen last browsing session". This will open all the web pages that you visited during the last session in Internet Explorer, at the time the program was closed.

As you can see, there is a common approach for all the most popular browsers. There are standard button combinations that work the same for Google Chrome, Opera Mozilla Firefox, Yandex, Internet Explorer and other less popular programs. The difference lies only in the interface features of each product. That is, the same buttons can have different names. Now inadvertently closed page will no longer become a nuisance for you. Write in the comments whether this article was useful to you and ask all your questions on the topic discussed.

Accidentally closed a tab or window in Google Chrome? Want to reopen a recently closed page without having to search your browsing history? It is possible and very easy to do.

If you just closed the desired tab, press the key combination "Shift" + "Ctrl" + "T" at the same time. Thus, you will open the last closed tab, if you click a second time - the penultimate one, etc. You can restore a tab that was recently opened, even if several other tabs have already loaded and closed after that, by clicking on the "Customize and control Google Chrome" button, which is located in the upper right corner of the active browser window. You will see a menu of functions and tools. Hover your mouse over the "Recently opened tabs" item, which will take you to a list of related tabs, starting with the last one you closed. Click on the desired tab - and it will be restored.


If you closed the browser window at all and, having started Chrome again, would like to work with the same tabs, repeat the steps described in the previous paragraph. But at the same time, in the “Recently opened tabs” list, select the very first item from the top “Tabs: 5” (5 is any number that indicates the number of tabs that were active when you closed the browser window).


In order to never lose the current tabs that you would like to see the next time you start your web browser, you need to change your browser settings. To do this, click on the "Customize and control Google Chrome" button (upper right corner) and select "Settings". Under the heading "Initial group", check the box next to "Continue work from the same place."


In extreme cases, you can still refer to the browsing history. To do this, in the "Customize and manage Google Chrome" menu, select the "History" tool. All links are given by the time they were loaded, starting with the last one. For convenience, you can use the search bar, which is located on the top right.


As you can see, restoring tabs in Chrome is not at all difficult, there are many ways, depending on certain circumstances, which are described in detail in the instructions above. You will be able to deal with this problem even if you are not very computer savvy. Good luck!

Having accidentally closed a tab in the browser, the first thought comes - how to open it back. Program developers have provided several options for solving this problem. Thanks to which any user, not even the most advanced, can easily open a closed tab.

How to open the last closed tab

There are several ways to restore a tab in the browser, all of them are guaranteed to return the page that was accidentally closed:

  1. Simultaneously hold down the Ctrl + Shift + T keys. To correctly type this combination, first press the Ctrl button on the keyboard, then without releasing its Shift key and the English letter T (Russian E). By repeating the combination, you can return the last few pages from the hierarchy.
  2. Keyboard shortcut Alt + Left arrow
  3. Instead of keyboard shortcuts, you can use the right mouse button (RMB): hover over the top of the browser window, right-click when the context menu opens, select "Open closed tab".
  4. Each browser has a separate place where all previously viewed pages for different periods of time are stored, it is called the Visit Log or History. The desired page may not be in the History for two reasons: if it was cleared, or the page was viewed in incognito mode. Depending on the browser, you can get to the Visitor Log in different ways, so below is a different algorithm for each program.

Google Chrome

You can access the history of the Google Chrome browser using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H or through the settings button, which is three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the program window. After selecting the "History" item, you will be redirected to a page where all the sites that have been opened recently are collected. The list is sorted by days, hours and minutes. To switch to a closed tab, click on it with the left mouse button (LMB).

If you couldn't find the page you need, use the search provided in the history. It is located at the top with a corresponding magnifying glass icon and a small textbar. Enter a keyword there and click the "Search History" button. If you don't remember the exact case of the key, you can only write part of the word. In addition to a keyword or phrase, you can search by site name.

Yandex browser

If you were unable to return the closed tab through the hotkey combination Ctrl + Shift + T, then the Yandex Browser History will come to the rescue. To quickly go to the section page, you need to hold down the Ctrl + H keys, you can also click LMB on the button with three horizontal lines, which is located in the upper right corner of the program.

A list of pages viewed sorted by time of visit will appear in a new tab. You can return the closed site manually by finding the desired entry in the list, or use the history search, as in the case of the previous browser. You can also search by keywords and the name (part of the name) of the site.

Opera

All previously visited and accidentally closed tabs are stored in Opera's browser history. You can go there by clicking the "Menu" button in the upper left corner of the program window. To go to the desired site, click LMB on the corresponding line in the list. The developers of the Opera browser also provide a history search. To do this, enter the keyword in the textbar with the inscription "Search in history".

Previously closed pages in the Mozilla Firefox browser can be returned through the history. To do this, in the program window, you need to click on the icon of three horizontal lines, then select the "Library" and "Journal" items. A list of tabs that have been closed recently will appear on the screen. To return to any of them, you just need to click LMB on the line with the desired site. To view all recently closed tabs, click on the bottom of the list "Show all history". A list of all addresses will appear on the screen. On the left, you can select a specific date, and at the top there is a convenient search in the log.

Internet Explorer

In the Internet Explorer browser, in addition to the hot keys Ctrl + Shift + T, the log is also used to return closed tabs. It's under the star button in the upper right corner. All previously viewed sites in Internet Explorer are stored there. For the convenience of the user, the tabs are sorted by day. The order can be changed, for this you can select a different sorting in the upper drop-down list.

Restoring tabs after restarting the computer

Often, the entire current session is lost due to an emergency restart of the computer. In this case, to restore the closed tab, it is recommended to follow the following algorithm:

  1. Most browsers, when logging in after an emergency shutdown of the computer, offer to return the session that was not completed correctly. A notification will pop up at the top of the program with the corresponding button for recovery.
  2. The Mozilla Firefox browser has a separate item in the program settings, which is called "Restore previous session".
  3. If the two previous points did not help to return closed tabs, then you can always use the Ctrl + Shift + T command or search in the history (log).

In the settings of any browser, you can specify that each time you open it, all those tabs that were open last time will appear. In the end, you won’t even remember what you had there and why, but it was definitely unrealistically important.

A few years ago, we had to suffer and restore sessions manually. Browser developers have heeded the voices of dejected users, now in most cases, browsers themselves cope with the problem and restore tabs. Where to look for them?

Chrome

In Chrome, closed tabs can be restored one at a time using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T.

The list of tabs that you closed recently is in the settings menu. Select "History" → "Recently closed". The browser will offer to open several tabs at once that have been closed.

It was possible to restore the session using the Last Session file and renaming it to Current Session. Unfortunately, this method no longer works, so you will have to say goodbye to closed and not tracked tabs by the Chrome browser.

You can, of course, open the history file in Notepad and sort all the links. But this is shamanism, subject to specialists, not ordinary users. Exit - extensions. An example is given at the end of the article for each of the browsers.

Firefox

The browser's home page itself, by default, offers to restore the previous session. The corresponding button is located in the lower right corner, you only need to press it.

If your home page is not set to Firefox by default, you can restore closed tabs in the menu "History" → "Restore previous session".

The browser also has a session recovery page that appears in the window after the program crashes. The page can be called manually, for this you need to type in the browser line about:sessionrestore. Firefox will offer to restore the tabs of the previous session or start a new one.

Alas, if these events did not help, then most likely it will not work to restore the tabs: they were not recorded in history.

There are still chances, but for this you will have to arm yourself with patience, knowledge, or even a tambourine. That is, try to recover data from files with information about the current session. For this you need:


The problem is that this may not work either. Just bad luck. For insurance, it is better to use the already mentioned extensions.

Opera

Working with runaway tabs in Opera is similar to working in Chrome. This is a Ctrl + Shift + T hotkey combination that saves tabs, and work with recently closed tabs in a special menu.

If the menu of recently closed tabs does not help, you will have to rummage through the history and install extensions for the future.

Extensions to help

To keep users out of trouble, there are special add-ons for working with tabs that solve most of the problems with losses and sudden closing of browser windows.
