Change in Tab Behavior

Firefox Tab basics

It seems firefox has changed the behavior of tabs. When I go to open a closed tab, I see a list of all the tabs that have been closed from every window. I want to restore the previous behavior where "recently closed tabs" only shows the tabs that were closed in the current window. I saw some about:config settings, but I'm not sure what they do and I don't want to end up losing the tab history all together.

Thanks

That would be about this pref in about:config.

  • about:config => browser.sessionstore.closedTabsFromAllWindows => false
