Why was the "new tab" button option removed from the "customize toolbar" set?

Back in 3.x and older I was able to place a "open new window" button, and an "open new tab" button on the bookmarks toolbar. This worked well for me. Now with 4, the "open new tab" is unavailable, and you can only open a new tab using the default button right next to your already open tabs.
Any chance of that open new tab button coming back? I'd rather use that (what I am used to) than the new one.
They're called options, stop removing them.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • Firefox 4 the "close tab" button is missing from the "File" pull down

    In Firefox 4 the "close tab" button does not appear in the "File" pull down.
    This button does appear in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.
    I need it when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close one window.
    The only option presented to me is "Quit" which closes both windows...

    I agree with what you said,
    "OK. While of nuisance value [why isn't this the default?]"
    Why isn't it the default?
    Why force users to switch from a mouse to a keyboard (control-w) just to close a tab?

  • Why does Firefox sometimes put the New Tab "+" button to the left of my open tabs instead of to the right?

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932160''
    [Re-posted with additional details when I thought this post had failed. Please respond to the other post and ignore this one. My apologies for the duplication.]
    In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
    If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
    Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.

    This may be related to session restore.

  • I have 9.0.1 on 2 pc's, both xp sp3. On 1 the 'open new tab' button is visible, on the other, the 'open new tab' button is not even available in the 'customize toolbar' menu for dragging and dropping. Why?

    I used the same installation file, but on 1 pc, the 'open new tab' button is available in the 'customize toolbar' menu and can be dragged and dropped onto the navigation bar. On the other pc, the 'open new tab' button/icon is not even available for dragging and dropping. I uninstalled firefox completely, including settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that did not correct the missing button.

    Hi,
    Please try '''Restore Default Set''' in the '''Customize...''' window. If it's still not visible, one reason could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar but may be hidden behind another icon or toolbar.

  • Why can't i open a new tab even if I press CTRL+T or click the new tab button under the toolbars?

    Even if I click the new tab button, I don't get new tabs.......Please help..

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Where is the New Tab Button in 4.01?

    The New Tab Button beside the Current Tab is missing on my desktop computer but is present on my laptop. Both are using 4.01. I found a New Tab Button in the Customize Toolbar Menu and put it on the Navigation Bar on my desktop but don't like it. Why is it missing? How do I get it back?

    You can drag that new tab button on the tab bar to get the plus sign or click the Restore Default Set button.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • When I click on the "New Tab" button, or try to open a new tab through the "File Pull Down" Menu, a new tab does not open. How do I fix this?

    I cannot open new tabs. The new tab button, new tab option on the file menu and the new tab option when I right click on the tab all do not work. This started when I updated Firefox Yesterday. It is becoming annoying when trying to work with multiple tabs open. How can I fix this?

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • How can I change the color of the new tab button?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was a way to change the color of the new tab button, list all tab button, and tab groups button. I have been searching for personas that don't make it hard to see those particular buttons for days now, but since I can't seem to find any I was hoping there was a way to change those buttons' colors to make them more visible with the personas.
    [http://i54.tinypic.com/2ui9351.jpg Here's a picture of the situation]
    I want to change those 3 buttons (and the "show more bookmarks" button that appears when the window is too small to show them all) to white or some other more visible color. I know there's a way to change the background of those buttons, but I'd prefer if I could change the '+' button itself in the new tab button for example. Is there any way to do it? Because it's so hard to find personas that don't make it hard to see text or buttons.
    Thanks.

  • When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

    When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

    In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

  • How to change what webpage the new tab button opens.

    When I click the new tab button, it always opens to a certain search engine. I've tried to change this default to my preferred search engine, but haven't succeeded. Any hints?

    @zoesull, what hijacked page comes up?
    If there is a "battle of the add-ons" about which one will control the new tab, you probably need to remove the one you don't want.
    Most add-ons can be disabled or removed here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > on the left side click Extensions
    If there is a disable button but no remove button, then you usually can use the Windows control panel to remove it. (Assuming you're on Windows.)

  • When i press the new tab button I land on yahoo. I hate yahoo, how do I change the landing page for the new tab button?

    When I pressed the new tab button, I use to land on google. I downloaded something that changed my new tab landing page. I now land on Yahoo. I hate yahoo!. How do I reset my landing page so I land on google when opening a new tab in Firefox.?

    ''New Tab button brings up Yahoo, want a different page''
    First I would identify everything in about:config that refers to Yahoo.
    Then I would remove everything about the Yahoo toolbar that is left that you don't want.
