Pretty sure that's been the shortcut since Mozilla Phoenix (now Firefox) introduced tabs in 2002 or so.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CTRL + SHIFT + T (multiple times if needed) will reopen the last closed tab.
Problem solved
I know, but this happens only when editing text. Tab closed = text gone.
Doesn't your browser warn you about closing a tab with an active text input field in it? I get an "information you've entered may not be saved" popup.
29 years here, get my first computer in 2011 after using it sometimes in my sister's house. Never used ctrl+backspace in my life and did not know it existed. Edit maybe you can try something like that? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/
There's also Ctrl+delete which deletes the word after the cursor.
Dude stop blowing my mind
Pull the W-key from your keyboard.
Realistically, how often do you even use the W-key? It's practically useless as is.
(just for completenes sake: /s)
Yeah, just use vv instead.
