I have lost the "+" on the tabs toolbar, so I can't open a blank tab. How do I fix?

I closed out a tab, and when the tab closed I also lost the "+" button on the toolbar. So I can no longer open a blank tab. It happened only once, but I can't figure out how to get the "+" button back.

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 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 want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.


If toolbar items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
