Cannot restore tabs which were closed accidentally

When pressing Ctrl+W to close one tab, my W key got stuck and all tabs were closed. Once again my whole work was lost without any possibility to restore it again.

Steps to reproduce (FF 81 on Ubuntu Linux): 1. Open a new window, open e.g. four tabs with different websites 2a. Press Ctrl+W four times, the tabs get closed 3a. You can restore the first by "recently closed windows" and the others by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T

2b. Press and hold Ctrl+W, the tabs get closed 3b. No possibility to restore, not even traces in the sessionstore-backup folder

I am really sick of all these bugs. Something like this happens every few weeks. Thinking about switching to Chromium.
