Firefox 6, I tried using tab groups but didn't like it. This would be harmless if it wasn't for the fact that I've lost the "+" on the tabs line of the toolbar (so have to Ctl T, or "menu bar - new tab"). Restarted Firefox , but no joy - still have one group and no "+". I removed the Groups icon on the tabs toolbar line but this doesn't get me back to before I ever tried tab groups.

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.
