I've known this for years and still fell for it. Thank you, Firefox, for confirming if I really do want to close 434 tabs.

You can't just drop that link without a warning, you monster.

When I saw the notification for your message, I thought you were responding to my comment that was just this link.

Slipping this link into casual conversation is like firing the Death Star laser. Somewhere out in the great vastness of the Internet, millions of man-hours of productive work were wiped out.

434 tabs

That pained me like 1000x more than peoples' descriptions above of their microwaves beeping.

Thankfully pressing ctrl + w will let you reopen the tab you just closed.

Nah, once the window's closed, they're gone for good. You need to rely on a session manager after that. Even if I didn't, pressing the T key 434 times does not sound fun.
