How to open private tabs. How to open a randomly closed tab in "Chrome", "Opera" and "Mozilla"

Probably, each of us is aware of such a situation, when a long reading of information suddenly suddenly closes one of the tabs of the browser. Agree, not a very pleasant moment. However, it is possible to restore this information, and you do not have to re-enter the query in the search engine or flip through the sites in the visit log. How to open a recently closed tab in browsers "Google Chrome", "Mozilla" and "Opera"? The answers to these questions will be found in the course of our today's article.

"Google Chrome"

So, how to open a randomly closed tab in the browser "Google Chrome"? To begin with, we note that Google Chrome already has this feature, with which you can restore a closed site in a window in a matter of seconds. Open the closed tab "Chrome" by several methods, which we will consider separately.

The easiest way is to press Ctrl + Shift + T. By the way, this method can be used not only in the browser "Google Chrome". However, there are some nuances here. First, this combination can only restore one page, that is, you can open the last closed tab "Chrome", and not all at once. And secondly, you can apply it only when the browser continues to work further. That is, if "Chrome" suddenly suddenly "hovered", and you had to disconnect it through the task manager, you will be able to restore all previous tabs only when viewing the log of visits. The combination of keys Ctrl + Shift + T is already useless.

What are the chances?

Chances to restore all the tabs in the browser with its "fall" are sharply reduced. And this happens not only in Google Chrome, but in the Opera, Mozile and many other programs. Why does this happen? The fact is that the browser can only save one backup, which is then rewritten at the next start. Thus, when you reset (restart the program), you can hardly restore or open the closed tabs.

Can I open all sites that suddenly closed in the browser? Of course you can. But before you do this, you will need to create 4 backup copies of the files that are stored in the user data folder. Where exactly it is located depends on the type of program and the OS version.

What should I copy?

You need to save files such as:

• Current Tabs.
• Current Session.
• Last Tabs.
• Last Session.

You can save them on almost any hard disk in any folder on your computer. And if something went wrong, you can move the copied files to the original directory at any time. In case you opened a lot of tabs in the browser (for example, 15-20 or more), you can use this way - copy all 4 files to a safe place. Problems with this you should not arise. However, if you log into the OS through an account that does not have administrator rights, you may experience difficulties copying these files.

How to open closed tabs in Chrome using this method? To begin with, you will need to close the browser, copy all 4 of the above files and then find the "Local State" in the folder with the utility installed. We open it through a notebook and find the following line:

Exited_cleanly entry

Change the value of this line to "false". Next, save the file and restart the browser. Here on the screen you should see a message with the text "Your Google Chrome has closed incorrectly". At the bottom click the "restore" button and wait until all the tabs are restored in the browser. At this time, you do not need to do anything, just wait for the program to open all the sites you need. It is possible that the utility will not display all the http and page addresses, but you still have chances.

Restorer tabs for the browser "Google Chrome"

In order to avoid problems with closed sites and their recovery in the future, you should install a special extension for "Gulg Chrome". It is called similar to our subtitle - "tab remover". The most popular is Session Buddy. This program was originally developed to save the last sessions in the browser. With the help of this extension you can save and configure them both in manual and in automatic mode with a certain periodicity.

There is also another way to restore closed tabs. To do this in the browser "Google Chrome", do several things:

1. Find the "Menu" icon (it's in the upper right corner) and click on it with the left mouse button.
2. Select "Settings".
3. Go to the "Start group" section.
4. Activate the "Recent open pages".

All, now with each new launch of the browser you will have all the tabs with which you worked in the previous session. This function does not always work, but only in cases where the sites were closed without your confirmation, that is, suddenly. Each time the browser window is closed, the program displays a text box like "You are about to close 5 tabs. Do you want to do this right now? "If Google Chrome closed without this message, you can safely restore the entire session even if the operating system is repeatedly rebooted.

It's also worth noting that when you open a large number of sites, if you have a weak computer or a slow Internet, the OS may hang for a few minutes, so it's not always possible to open all tabs.

How to open closed tabs in Mozilla Firefox? Method number 1: key combination

Here, too, everything is very simple. The most popular and simple method of session recovery is the key combination. You can open a closed tab by pressing Ctlr + Shift + T (similar to the browser "Google Chrome"). But again, this method will be effective only when the program is in working order. Thus, when the computer is restarted, the key combination Ctlr + Shift + T is already useless.

Method number 2: find the corresponding item in the main menu

This method is also widely popular among Internet users. It consists in using the main menu of the browser. How does it work? First, click on the PCM button on the main menu button, which is in the upper left corner, and search for the "Journal" section. After that, we point the arrow at the item "Recently closed tabs" and select those sites that you suddenly disappeared a few minutes ago. Those who have a good operating memory and high-speed Internet on their computer can use the function "open closed tabs in full", namely "Restore all tabs".

Method number 3: use the log of visits

How to open a randomly closed tab? If you need to find only specific information on one site, it's best to find it through the log of visits. To do this, press Ctrl + H and at the top enter the address (you can be incomplete) or the name of the site that you need. It also shows the time and number of visits, which is also very convenient for searching.

Addition for "Mozilla"

Similarly to the browser "Google Chrome", in Mozilla you can install a similar restorer of closed tabs, which is also an extension for this program. And if in the first case we used "Local State", for Firefox experts recommend installing Undo Closed Tabs Button.

As practice shows, this extension is very easy to use. To increase the functionality of the developers of this utility have made a special button to quickly open closed tabs, which can be placed in any place convenient for you in the browser menu. If after installing this extension you did not see such a button, do not be scared - you can create it yourself. To do this, right-click on the part of the panel that is not filled with other shortcuts and bookmarks. After that, select the "Configure" item and find the icon with the label "Cancel closing tabs". Drag it to the desired place on the panel and open the site without any fear, because at any time the opened address can be restored by one click of this icon.

How do I open a closed tab "Opera"?

Here to restore private sites, click on the icon "Closed tabs" and on the right side of the pane in the drop-down menu select the desired page. In this case, the private tab can not be restored.

As you can see, in the browser "Opera", "Google Chrome" and "Mozilla" you can use the same way to open private sites. The developers of these programs did the right thing by making the general principle of restoring tabs.
