User Reviews

Users consistently praise Undo Close Tab as a time-saver and essential tool that prevents accidental tab closures and is easy to use. However several report visibility and reliability issues, including the addon not appearing, occasional bugs after updates, and missing/misleading options, with limited troubleshooting guidance.

Pros

Extremely helpful and essential; saves time and is used constantly
Prevents accidental tab closures by enabling quick undo of closed tabs
Easy to use and convenient (mouse-based; no extra keys; 'no-brainer')
Lightweight UI with minimal clutter (relying on context menu rather than extra icons)

Cons

UI not visible or the addon doesn't show in Firefox (installation/visibility issues)
Sometimes not working or buggy after updates, with fixes not addressing the problem
Missing or mislabelled options (e.g., 'Restore previous session' checkbox) and insufficient or unclear troubleshooting guidance

Is Undo Close Tab Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Undo Close Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
