The + symbol (to quickly open new tabs) to the right of the tab is gone. How do I get it back?

In the last update of Firefox, the + symbol suddenly disappeared from the tabs section. In the past, this was used to open a new tab instead of having to go to the file menu. I would like to have the + symbol back on the right side of the tabs and cannot find a way to do this in the options or customize sections.

Chosen solution

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
