posted 6 months agoThanks for all those suggestions, but they would have been better placed on GitHub as discussion on each individual one would have been possible.
- Timestamps: Most users don't care about this and a "timestamp" actually consumes A LOT of space (it's not just the time but the date somehow has to fit, too).
- More than 25 items is not possible. Please read my point about this on my Add-on description. This is something Mozilla has to fix.
- Adjustable char limit is difficult as texts are variable width and I won't go into the rabbit hole of "char width calculation". Most users want to see "as much as possible" anyway.
- Option for multiple tabs is not possible with Mozilla API. You'll have to open the menu multiple times to get this. I'm limited to what Mozilla allows to Add-ons.
- Default for tab-bar context menu to "ON" is a good idea. I'll put that on my list for the next update.
- The icon won't change. Sorry but it has been refined several times and whatever you do you'll always have a few users that don't like it.
- The icon should be dark mode friendly at least on the toolbar. The icon in the context menu actually can not be changed. Mozilla only allows icons to be changed in sub menus and not on top level. And my default icon is the icon for light mode as that used to be the most used mode when the Add-on was created.

- Rated 5 out of 5by grantmk, 3 days agoThis is such a simple extension, but so useful! I deleted it last week, thinking I didn't really need it, but I soon missed it. After a week I ended up reinstalling it for quick access to my recently closed tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14235874, a month agoCan you change the color of the logo? Current logo color is purple when using the default theme 'firefox Alpenglow', which has a very low visibility.
Developer response
posted a month agoThat could be a hard one as Mozilla really makes it difficult to integrate with the existing themes.
But I maybe found something that is worth trying. Can you create a GitHub issue for this? - Rated 5 out of 5by iEatIce, a month ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by roku, 2 months agooverall the extension is good. can you add keyboard shortcut to make it more convenient?
Developer response
posted 2 months agoFirefox has built-in "Ctrl + Shift + T". This works even without any extension installed.
But you can create an additional shortcut "calling into" my extension using:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18450183, 4 months agoon some computer i don't succed to see icon in extension bar...so it's not easy to use.

i don't know how to solve this issue...
this is the only reason why i give 4 stars because when icon is here, it merit 5 .
Thank for your answer...i corrected to 5 stars. 👍Developer response
posted 4 months agoYou have to access the icon using the "Extensions" button on the toolbar (puzzle piece icon). In its menu you'll find "Undo Close Tab" and if you like, you can select "Pin to Toolbar" from the menu there.
This is not at all convenient but this is the way Mozilla enforces for Add-ons. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18441348, 4 months ago

Thank you.
永远运行良好的扩展，需要它的时候从未缺席，感谢它无数次拯救我的手抖。 - Rated 5 out of 5by scmstr, 6 months agoRating: Great. The addon didn't ask for dark-behavior permissions and seems to do what it describes with footprint/impact. I haven't used it for more than 10 minutes yet though.
Suggestions:
- timestamps on the closed tab list
- more than 25 closed tabs in list
- adjustable char limit for tabs list
- option for checking multiple tabs at once from list
- default the option for tab-bar context menu to ON
- have your icon have a color, and simplify it a little, maybe to just the standard "undo" shape/arrow
- make icon be dark-mode friendly
Note to developer (Manuel Reimer): Good job, and thank you.Developer response
