When I upgraded from Firefox 4 to Firefox 5, the 'create a new tab' button has disappeared, and I can't seem to find it. I discovered that if I double tap the space where it used to be, it opens a new tab, but I'd like to know where it went, and if possible, get it 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 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.
