firefox 35 won't open previously closed tabs
Until this latest firefox version 35, I could right-click on a tab, select "Recently closed tabs", and then pick a site that I had closed out.
Now, all I see is a small square box in the upper right corner of that option. When I click on "Recently Closed Tabs", nothing happens.
What do I need to do to get "recently closed tabs" to work?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check browser.sessionstore.* prefs on the about:config page and reset browser.sessionstore prefs that are user set (bold) via the right-click context menu to the default value to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

Are you in permanent private browsing mode?
No, regular mode.
I've noticed that I can access previously closed by clicking on the 3-bar icon in the upper right corner and selecting "history" to get the list.
I updated to version 35.0.1 this morning. Unfortunately, the right-click on tabs and clicking on "Recently Closed Tabs" still doesn't work.

When I restart Firefox in "safe mode", I noticed I didn't have the "Recently Closed Tabs" available. A-HA!
The option comes from the add-on "Tab Utilities", which has not been updated since April 2014.
Thank you for your help!
After getting in contact with the developer, here is a link to the latest fixes for "Tab Utilities": https://github.com/yfdyh000/tabutils/releases
Hope this helps someone.
