    You 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.

    Rating: 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.

    Thanks 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.

    Does exactly what it says it does plus some optional functionality. Perfect for research or time-sensitive activities where a lost tab is a huge hassle.

    L.O.L. This gets an instant 5-star from me!!

    Quite ironically, I accidentally closed this tab immediately after installing this extension and was SO HAPPY to have this super-convenient little button right there in my toolbar!!!
    (...rather than spending 5x longer trying to find FF's built-in version in my context menu, and I never remember my mouse gesture the first few tries...)

    Also the mini recent history drop-down is an excellent bonus!
    Kudos, and THANK YOU!!!

    very patiently awaiting for this extension to work w/ Ff Android. installs, but goes totally deadstick - no last tab restore, no Settings & totally blank tab history.

    It does not advertise to be Android compatible and I intentionally disabled everything Android related in my Add-on listing. If you still got it offered for Android, please open an Issue on GitHub with a screenshot so I can file a bug for Mozilla.

    The sessions API is not available on Android and "Undo Closed Tab" heavily depends on it. So there is no way to make it Android compatible at this point: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/sessions#browser_compatibility
