One of the most useful features that Firefox offers over Internet Explorer 7 is the ability to re-open a tab which was closed. Several times myself, I have closed a tab accidentally in IE7 only to have to try to dig it up in my browser history. This is no longer a problem with the IE7 Open Last Closed Tab plugin.
The description on their website explains how it works:
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.
Enough said. This plugin is complete free and definitely something worth having.

I really like the undo button in the Maxthon browser. Not only does it open the tab that I accidentally closed, but the back/forward information is still there so I can hit the back button if needed.

Get IE7Pro. This has all sorts of added features, tab history, session restore, etc, etc.

This feature rocks, and I’ve depended on it many times already because I usually use Opera, which had this feature ages ago!
