Let's consider how to open a closed tab on the Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is in the top three popular apps to view sites because it is the only one installed in windows system by default (that's why I'll start with it). There are several ways to open a randomly closed tab in this browser.
1. Through the history of visits
From the history of visits, you can even open the tabs that were closed a month ago, but this path is the longest.
1. To open a closed tab, click on the "Star" icon or use the keyboard shortcut - ALT + C.
2. Click on the “Log” tab and select the time when the tab with the desired site was closed.
3. Suppose the tab was closed today. We select this item from the list below, all open sites today will be displayed. Click on the site name to expand the list.

The presented method is much shorter than the previous one, but the minus is that you can restore only the tabs of the current session.
2.1 On any tab in the panel, open the context menu with the right mouse button.
2.2 Hover over the Recently Closed Tabs drop-down list.
2.3 A list with closed tabs of the current session will appear. The pages will be arranged in chronological order. The last closed ones will be located at the top. Clicking on the site name in the list will open the page in a new tab.

3. Through browsing history
As in the case of Internet Explorer, the Chrome browser stores information about all the pages visited, which means that you can open any of them in a new tab.
3.1 Move the cursor in the main menu to the "History" drop-down list and in it open the "History" item.
3.2 A list of all visited pages will automatically open. Find the desired page by date and name, right-click on the context menu by clicking on the desired name. Then click on "Open in a new tab."
How to open a closed tab inOpera
The opera was created on the basis of the Chromium engine, like the previous Yandex and Chrome, but Opera developers tried and made their own individual interface and location settings. Therefore, this browser will be considered separately. There are three ways to restore closed tabs for this browser.
1. Button for working with tabs
The developers of the Opera browser have provided a special button for working with open and closed tabs. It is located on the right side of the tab bar and looks like this:
This button allows you to switch between open and open closed tabs.

Right-clicking on the active tab brings up a context menu that looks like this:
Then select “Open last closed tab” and it will open to the right of the active one. You can open tabs until the very first in the current session is opened.
3. History

How to open a closed tabMozilla Firefox
This browser does not have significant differences from the previous ones in terms of working with closed tabs. But its interface has some differences. You can also restore closed tabs in three ways.
1. Panel context menu
This context menu opens by right-clicking on the active tab or on the plus sign, which opens a new empty tab. The Firefox context menu looks like this:
You can open a closed tab by clicking on the “Restore closed tab” context menu item. A new tab will open, which will automatically become active.
2. Magazine
The entire history of visits and tabs is stored in a separate item on the main menu - “Journal”.
2.1 Call the main menu with a special button, which is located under the button to close the window. There is a magazine.
2.2 There are 10 last closed tabs in the Journal, any of them can be opened. A tab will open in the place where it was closed.
3. History
In the Journal you can open closed tabs for the entire period of the stored history. To do this, click "Show the entire log" below.
A new window opens with a list of all visited pages for the entire duration of the browser on your computer, if the history has not been deleted before.
You can open any closed tabs using the context menu, as in previous browsers.
Whatever browser you use, there is always a way to restore closed tabs.
Let me remind you of a little trick - if you can’t understand the browser interface, and you need to open a closed tab, then you can use the win-win option - the CTRL + SHIFT + T hot keys work in all browsers and open tabs one at a time until the session starts. This option will be the fastest and most effective.
Sincerely, Vladislav Nikitin.
