I mistakenly close a tab (leaving FF open - just one tab closed). Where is the "reopen closed tab" feature?

I know I have seen this feature in the last couple of months. I just upgraded to FF4. To reiterate: this not about reopening the browser with all its old tabs, it is about reopening one tab (among many) that was mistakenly closed. I looked everywhere I could think of. There ought to be a "history" button somewhere...

Chosen solution

To reopen a closed tab, press Control-Shift-T, or go to "Recently Closed Tabs" in the History menu. (Press the "Firefox" button in the top left corner to access the History menu.)

Fantastic - thanks for your clear, concise, and apparently complete answer. You didn't assume, for example, that I knew where to find the History menu. Much appreciated!
