How do I create a New Tab, other than the item under the File menu?

There used to be a "+" to the right that would create a new tab. Is there still a way to create a new tab without resorting to the menu item "New Tab" under the File menu?

That plus + sign to open a new tab should still be on the tab bar.
You can also double-click empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab.

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.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know.

You can also Middle-click (scroll wheel) a blank part of tab bar to open a new blank tab.
