Change windows independence

Is there a way of changing/removing the independence of browser windows?

Whenever I have multiple windows and close one them I cannot retrieve them, re-opening closed tabs doesn't work, since it only works on their own window.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?


I hope I have explained myself, thanks.

Hello,

First, Firefox offers an option to reopen up to 3 recently closed windows. Just head to the menu -> History -> Recently closed windows.

Secondly, make sure to exit Firefox correctly. Instead of closing browser windows with OS close buttons, open Firefox menu and select Exit.

The answer doesn't address the issue stated on the question.

History -> Recently closed windows. Only works in the window you are currently checking in. If you close another Firefox window the other does not track it.

Sure if I want to close all Firefox windows and make them to reopen later using the Exit option is a good method.

Ok... then I don't feel like I understand your question. Could you please explain it once again?

You stated:

What exactly cannot you retrieve? If you cannot reopen recently closed windows, that's a bug, as they should be accessible via menu -> History -> Recently closed windows.
