New Tab button missing after upgrade to 7.0.1

I prefer not to have the Tab Bar showing unless I have more than one tab open, but I sometimes like to open a blank tab, so that I can open a link from an email into it. (Not the default for me.) Alas, ever since I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1 from the version Fedora Linux gave me (3.6.x) I've been unable to get the New Tab button back. Not only can't I move the one on the Tab Bar to the Navigation Bar, it's not available under Customize. It is, however, available on the copy of Firefox 7.0.1 on my laptop, also running Fedora. I've tried running FF in Safe mode, I've backed up my local settings and had Safe mode set everything to default and restarted, with no change. I have Tab Mix Plus installed, but running FF without it doesn't change anything.

I followed the instructions in your first link, but I don't have a user.js file, and in any event, the instructions there aren't really relevant. The problem isn't that Firefox doesn't remember this setting, it's that I can't set Firefox to put a New Tab button on my Navigation bar in the first place because it's not in the list of items I can select. And yes, I've tried restoring the default set several different times with no effect. I know that the button exists, because I can see it on the copy on my laptop, even after the upgrade. The only thing I haven't tried (maybe) is disabling all plugins, so I'll try that and report back.

'''Great work, Lord of the Strings. You post helped me immensely. Worked like a charm. Now the "add tab" + button sits next to the tabs (where it belongs, imo). Thank you!'''

New tab keeping freezing after upgrade to v35 on Ubuntu 14.10

After upgrading to Firefox 35 on Ubuntu 14.10, I keep experiencing browser freeze every time when I open a new tab. The browser freezes about 30 seconds when a new tab is launched.
Is there anyone encountering the same problem? and How can this problem be fixed?

Thanks for the reply. Tried, but didn't work. The freezing is actually trigged when I type in the address bar. I have tried different trouble shooting methods, but none of them works. The browser keeps freezing. There was no problem before upgrading to version 35. Maybe there is a bug. How can I submit a bug report?

After upgrade to ff14, how do i move "new tab" button from the left to the right?

after i upgraded to ff 14, i found that the "open new tab" button moved to the left of the tabs. how do i move the button back to the right of tabs?
i've tried the customize, but it won't stay on the right when i hit done.

Try to click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window if you can't move the New Tab button to its default position immediately to the right of the last tab.

Used to have a little "OPEN NEW TAB" button to the right of the current open tab. Since my upgrade to 6.0.1. this is gone. How can I get it back?

Thanks for the reply. My button was after the last tab until I upgraded. What I did was restore to default tool bar and the button was there. I then re customized my tool bar the way it was.
Thanks again for the help.

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing.How do I get it back?

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing on the Tab bar How do I get it back?

For now, you can try using Ctrl + t to open new tabs if you can't open them otherwise, but try right clicking the tabs bar, clicking "customize," and then in the window that comes up try clicking the "restore default set" button. I don't know if it will work in your case but it wouldn't hurt to try.

In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.

Am unable to click and open new tabs using the new tab button after downloading the newest version of firefox?

have recently downloaded the newest version of firefox. after installing i am happy to say i am pleased with the new look and features etc though for some reason i am unable to open new tabs as before.
i now have to right click on bookmarks or favorites and select open in a new tab to do so, rather than simply clicking on the new tab button..

If the problem turns out to be the "New Tabs at the End" extension, there actually is an internal setting for this that you could use instead.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false. That's it.

Missing new tab button in FF 29, restore default didnt helped

After update to Firefox 29, i no logner see new tab button (+). I clicked on restore default, it didnt worked just made everything else worse.
I am very disapointed with this new UI, well thanks you very much for that.

Ok i found it in safe mode. But i use addon for FF28 UI and if i put it on tab bar its not visible :(
I know you says its addon problem, but this new UI is horrible. Time to install FF28 back.

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. 
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.

After updating my browser my "open a new tab" button has become useless, how do I fix this?

I recently updated to Firefox 3.6.17 and now my "Open a new tab" + button has become useless, it is still there, it just doesn't work anymore, how can I fix this, any suggestions?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
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

The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

My "New tab" button is missing, it is not located among the others in the "customize" menu. Is it possible to bring it back next to the page arrows?

I mean, I use the same version of Firefox on a similar cpmputer at work, and I do have the "Open new tab" aviable.
I know there are other ways to open a new tab, but I really preffer this one.
I tried everything, but I'm stuck. Help appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't even download a new theme, just changed from the one I had been using to to another that I downloaded some months ago and the button vanished. I changed back but it didn't come back.
