Restoring tabs after clearing history can be tricky since the browsing history is essential for recovery. As a workaround, check if your browser has a 'Recently Closed' or 'Session Restore' feature. In Chrome, type `chrome://history/` to see recently closed tabs. For Firefox, go to `Menu > Library > History > Recently Closed Tabs`. Bookmarking essential tabs before clearing history helps avoid this issue.
