What happened to the little tab with the Plus sign to create an empty tab?

I recently upgraded from v3.6 through several versions to v8.01 of Firefox. There used to be a small tab with a plus sign at the end of the tab bar that allowed me to create a new empty tab. It seems to have disappeared somewhere beyond v4.0
What happened to it and how do I get it back? Yes I know I can turn on the toolbar button for a new tab, but having it at the end of the tab bar is more natural to use.

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. 
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.

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

The little box with the + symble next to a tab is gone (to open a new tab). How can I get it back?

This happened after downloading Firefox 4.

right-click on any of your toolbars in a place where you don't have any buttons, and choose 'customize' from the bottom of the drop-down. You should see the + button in that group of buttons available. Drag it from that menu to where ever you want it on your toolbar. If you don't see it there, close that box and right-click on a toolbar again. This time, mark any toolbars that do not have check boxes with check boxes. Inspect your toolbars to see if the + button is on the wrong one. If so, choose customize again, and then drag it to where you want it to be. After doing that, you can uncheck anything you aren't using.

What happened to that little grinder on the toolbar to show it was working

It was a little grinder/pinwheel that you could put on the toolbar it is gone. Also why isn't Forecast Fox add on not compatible

You should see the loading throbber on the tab in place of the icon when a page is loading. If you want to move it somewhere else you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer extension]
The developer of Forecast Fox hasn't responded to attempts to contact them asking for the extension to be updated. Their support forum is at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/forecastfox-users

Hello, I would just like to report the little problem with the apple store. When I try to download an app it loads for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading! I don't know what's wrong

Hi, when I try to download an application the app stores downloads it for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading it! I don't know what's wrong?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

What happened to Drag and Drop with the update???

I moved the post to the Main Dreamweaver Forum so more could see and comment on the problem. You'll find it HERE.

Interestingly, As I've been copy-pasting out of iPhoto, I've noticed that it has in some cases been pasting twice.
One shoot I did was close to 400 pics and when I copy-pasted into a folder, it has each picture in there twice. That just doubled my editing time.
Not super happy about this.
Any ideas why drag-and-drop wouldn't work?

What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways. When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them. What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean? If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free? I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key. If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable. If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
good luck.

Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

Presuming you get the chime, most of your Mac hardware is working and has passed the first part of the power-on self-test.
If the screen comes on, basic graphics is working.
The dark gray Apple is not present inside the Mac -- it must be loaded from a boot device. If the dark gray Apple appears, at least one of your boot devices has some capabilities. The flower petal/gear moves while Darwin is initializing and loading. If it stops immediately, something is terribly wrong.
When the screen turns blue, Mac OS X has loaded and your graphics card transitions to Interrupt-driven operation. LoginWindow task draws the login screen, and Mac OS X is ready for login.
What could be the problem depends on where in the process it stops, and whether the power light is blinking.

I purchased a free app from app store for iPhone 5 and it will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. I have version 7.1.2 What do I do?

Hello mjhardy,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while downloading apps. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

The "plus" sign for opening a new tab disappeared. what happened?

the "plus" sign for opening a new tab disappeared. what happened? how can this be fixed?

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What are you considering non responsive with the plugins? Flash player is working just fine then I get your crash page in the middle of doing something. You say it only crashes when it's been unresponsive for 45 seconds. Mine is crashing in less then 1

I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month. I have updated to the latest version with the crash protection. Now the flash player crashes about every 20 minutes or so. On your blog page you state that I will get the crash page when the plugin has been non-responsive for 45 seconds well with mine the games are going along just fine then wham crash page. Flash player was responding and you gave me crash report anyway. What's up???? Flash player is crashing within seconds not 45 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your check plugin page always states that my plugins are UP TO DATE!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== three months ago and getting worse with every upgrade you send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''
For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash

Why did 29 blend in the tabs with the header both in blue giving me this large ugly band of crap?

Why do you people think it's okay to change the looks and location of important stuff as you like without giving your customers notice or the option to keep their old look and layout? I just updated to 29 because in 28 when i click on a link in my pop 3 mail with Firefox as my default browser, the link stopped coming up in Firefox. But when I installed 29, it came with a couple nasty looking changes that I could not do anything about to get rid of except reinstall 28 and I guess NEVER UPDATE FIREFOX AGAIN to avoid this crap! DO I looked for "themes" and just saw more crap. ALL I want is the default one back. SO IF YOUR'E GOING go to the OPERA MODEL now for updates and start changing everything every update, PLEASE be AT LEAST courteous enough to warn us and provide THE OPTION to retain the look and feel of our last installation! Duh!
STOP CHANGING STUFF THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN AND YOU THINK IT WILL BE PRETTIER BECAUSE, GUESS WHAT, YOU ARE NOT YOUR USERS ,WE ARE, but you don't consult us, don't provide us any choice in this and frankly it shows a supreme lack of respect for us, your users.
After all, WTF made you the arbiters of my (your user's) tastes? I happened to like the old look and hate that giant blue band I got in 29 blending in the tabs with the header.I QUIT USING OPERA years ago and switched to Firefox because of crap like this. Every update The jerks kept changing things moving them. so I only updated and update now when absolutely necessary for the browser to keep functioning and it was a frigging nightmare every time i updated opera. Things always moved all over the place, everything switched colors, location or went when I was perfectly happy with what I had, without ever giving me an option to opt out or change back. It used to take me hours after an update to find everything and get back the skin I liked, Finally I no longer could go back and Opera had become absolutely hideous so I stopped using it and came to Firefox which HAS BEEN GOOD ABOUT NOT PULLING THIS UNTIL NOW. So JUST STOP THE OPERA CRAP NOW!

and it was more than that, the tabs and backgrounds were blue as well and the names of the tabs were only visible with no traditional tab outline, and a whitish see through vague halo appearance of the traditional tabs when i hovered over one. This was nasty and clearly, though sporting a blue XP color scheme, having NOTHING TO DO WITH my xp color themes. In fact I could see that if i chose another xp color, it would all change to that. But then what do I do with the nasty non-tab looking tabs?

What happened to the little tab with the Plus sign to create an empty tab?
