No tabs are showing when only one window open. How do I open a new tab?
Just upgraded to latest version. When only one window is open, no tabs show across the top. If I have two tabs open, both show across the top, but go to no tabs if I close one of them. And, the + sign is available for opening a third tab if at least two are open. The only way I can find to open a new tab when only one window is currently open is to turn off the menu, click the orange Firefox drop-down, and click New Tab. Why isn't it showing a tab, and a + tab (to open a new one) when only one tab (window) is open.

Ctrl+T will open a new tab
But the old format works much better
- You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6).
In your Firefox preferences go to the Tabs section and check the box "Always show the tab bar". This forces the tab bar to display even if there is only one page open and behaves the same as in previous versions of Firefox.
Go into Customize, then move the Plus symbol (New Tab button) from the Tabs Bar to the Navigation bar then you will have a new tab button when you have tabs on top.
However I fee that the so called savings is not there, and one is better off with the old arrangement with styling.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Cntl + T works fine, and I did move the + window to the nav bar, which also works well.
I had already gone into options and checked the box for always showing the tab bar, but it doesn't show it. I even unchecked it, saved the settings, the rechecked and saved the settings. Doesn't seems to make any difference.
I'm okay with it not showing a tab when I only have one open, just so I can get to a new one easily when I want it.
