Is there any way to use the "Recently Closed Tabs" in the new firefox without mouse?

In the old firefox, you had the option of klicking ONCE in the top left corner and then using the arrow-keys to navigate to the recently closed tab menu extremely fast and choose the tab you wanted. Now you have to klick three times, and you have to search for the History button because there is no list anymore, and there is no possibility of using the arrow keys. Is there any way of using the arrow-keys of the keyboard like before or is there anyway of downgrading my version to the old version of firefox?

Hello ,

You can use CTRL+SHIFT+T to restore recently closed tabs, it re-opens the tab you closed most recently.

thanks - it helps a bit, especially since I found out that it doesn't only restore the last tab, but can restore any number of tabs. Still, I liked the old option menu on the left a lot better and think that it is sad that it is not possible anymore to maneuver this with just one klick and then the arrow keys. The firefox team should change it so that it again requires one klick on the menu on the right and then just maneuvering with the arrow keys or the tab. Please.
