Why do people use Google Chrome?
Stsin:
Hmm, not in my latest version of Firefox. It reloads tabs, but does not re-open a closed one.
You can choose which closed tab with Chrome, like shown on the new tab picture.

History>closed tabs ;)

Which version do you have? Do you have the option "Always show tab bar" (again my translation ;P) enabled?

If I don't misunderstand you, you mean
(click to show/hide)But isn't that window only available if you have a blank tab?

Yes, can use that. But still not as quick and easy as Chrome's. With Chrome, you do away with all the excessive menus of most browsers in everyday use. Just a right click here and it's back. Will realize how much more intuitive everything is.
Another thing that makes Chrome's ability to open closed tabs better is that it still remembers them after closing the browser, unlike Firefox. Say, I can come back from work and decided to continue reading that long thread where I left off or watch that youtube video I last found....without having it to save all tabs everytime I close.
@newy
Yes, it shows the history of closed tabs when opening a new tab. But as you browse normally, you often realize that you close the wrong tab right away, which just a right click on a tab brings the most recent back. If need to search for tab closed awhile ago, the new tab works. The new tab works for many other things, than just being a new tab ;)

Oh, and another tab feature I like is the duplicate function. Something that was in Opera, but not in Firefox. It duplicates the selected tab, including it's history.
Let's say I'm responding to a thread...but also want to quote something a page earlier. With Firefox, I'd open a new tab, and then have to search my way back to that quote I wanted.
With Chrome or Opera, I'd just duplicate the tab I'm responding with. then back a page in the new duplicated tab. Done in a second.
There's other uses for it, and will realize how handy and time saving this feature is.
I know you can open a new page by the title link of the post with this site, but can't do that on all forums.

If you have "Tab mix plus" for firefox reopen closed tab is pretty easy, and I don't even have to open a new tab ;)
chrome is for some reason slower when surfing on the net for me, I don't know why, maybe because it doesn't have adblock.
