okay fuck this, i just closed and reopened waterfox to get it to be less resource hogging because the computer was getting hot and it completely failed to restore our tabs

we leave tabs open a lot for things we want to get back to later as reminders and i had like eight?? and i don't know what most of them were anymore and aaaaaa
-F

how do i get the browser history to show the most recently open tabs even if they were opened like two months ago and just left open, not loaded recently
-F

@Felthry If it's like Firefox there should be an option in the dropdown menu for History

@Kilroy it's waterfox and there is an option for "restore previous session" but it does nothing
-F

@Felthry Oh! Under the three bars, go to library, history, and there should be a recently closed tabs option

@Kilroy there is no library button, this is waterfox classic not firefox

the history button usually has recently closed tabs but it doesn't right now for some reason
-F

@Felthry I might have a different version of Waterfox then, but there should be a library option when you click the three lines in the upper right corner?

@Kilroy that looks like waterfox current, the branch based on a more recent firefox build

we're on waterfox classic because it supports the old extensions and there's one of those that we simply can't live without
-F

@Felthry Ah, sadly I don't have access to Classic. Might be able to check my older laptop later? But for now, I'm not entirely sure

@Kilroy aaaaaa but i want to be able to get this before the data on what tabs were open gets lost to time, probably next time we close the browser
-F

@Felthry Apparently I do have Classic on my laptop, so I'll fire that up and look into it

@Felthry I sadly can't seem to find anything unfortunately :C
