IE7 Open Last Closed Tab 3.5

Publisher's description of IE7 Open Last Closed Tab

view larger

IE7 Open Last Closed Tab is a plug-in for Internet Explorer 7 that makes "Alt-X" reopens the last closed tab. This is very useful when you accidentally close a tab that you didn't mean to close. Instead of trying to find it in your browser history, you hit "Alt-X" and it automatically reopens in a new tab. It also supports a Quick Tab Style View, shown when you hit "Alt-Q", which gives you thumbnails of the previous tabs you've closed (like the built-in IE Quick Tabs, but for previously closed tabs).

You can then click on the thumbnail of the page you want to open in a new tab. Version 3.5 updated the installer to decrease the file size by about 14 percent. Updated the layout of thumbnails to decrease wasted space, better align the thumbnails, and better center the thumbnail section in the window. Added the "Product Bar" to the bottom of the Quick Tab window which can be disabled/enabled on the Quick Tab Toolbar. Fixed some miscellaneous cosmetic issues/typos.

Editor's review of IE7 Open Last Closed Tab

Despite its inelegant name, IE7 Open Last Closed Tab, works like a charm. Its name exactly describes this IE plug-in's functionality.

If you close a browser tab, then realize you need something more from that now-closed site, IE7 Open last Closed Tab comes to the rescue. You can now press Alt-X and instantly reopen the site in a new tab. The program responded quickly when tested and opened 15 closed tabs in a row during one test. We also liked the tools Quick Tab Style View. The view which is similar to IEs Quick Tabs, but instead of displaying thumbnails of IEs open tabs, this tools feature displays thumbnails of the tabs you've closed. Clicking a thumbnail reopened the closed site in a new tab.

This free plug-in is a handy addition to IEs tools. Anyone who works in multiple tabs will appreciate the ease it offers in reopening closed browser tabs.
