I’m not entirely sure why they chose Amazon ads to integrate… but either way you can get rid of them. You’ll notice there’s an Amazon ad at the bottom… you can turn that off by clicking the “Disable Product Bar” button on the toolbar, and then you’ll get this message:

Alt+Q will bring up a screen to let you visually choose from the recently closed tabs:.

Alt+X will restore the last closed tab.

Thankfully there’s an add-on for IE7 called “IE7 Open Last Closed Tab” which will remember what tabs you’ve recently closed so that you can quickly re-open them.Īfter installation, you’ll notice that there’s nothing different in the UI whatsoever… but there are two new shortcut keys. It’s especially annoying when you’ve done a lot of browsing so you have to sift through your history to find the link for the page you closed.

If there’s one thing that annoys me in Internet Explorer more than anything else, it’s that there is no way to re-open a tab once you’ve closed it.
