When I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on my XP system, the "plus sign" mini tab that used to be appended to the last open tab suddenly disappeared. I can obviously use the New Tab option on the Menu Bar, but I prefer the convenience of the plus sign.

Do you see that plus button if you open the Customize window?

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

No, it's not an option on the customize window. This is the plus sign that appears like a partial tab to the right of the last open tab. I did discover a "work around" - if I double click anywhere parallel and to the right of the last open tab, it will open a new tab! I still miss that that plus sign, though.
