I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

Nope, this feature has existed forever. They just changed the shortcut, previously it was Ctrl-shift-T for re-opening the last closed tab and Ctrl-shift-N for re-opening the last closed window.

Ohh, this makes much more sense. Thanks!

Yup, I've been using Ctrl-shift-N for years, so long that I don't recall it ever not being a thing. Basically, as soon as I needed to reopoen a closed window, I just added "shift" to do the opposite of opening a new window and it worked.
