Had a settings file somehow end up corrupted and had to restore Firefox to default and start over with my custom toolbars. Only problem is that the "New Tab" button wants to ONLY go to the LEFT of the tabs bar. Will not be put on the RIGHT side of it like it was previously by default. Want this back. Anyone know how to set this in the about:config or whatever? I keep looking for my new tab button on the right and getting irritated that it's on the left instead. Customize will not let it be put on the right. Dragging it there puts it on another toolbar, drops it on the left of the screen when you have the mouse on the right, or doesn't do anything and just makes the icon vanish back to the customize window.

Chosen solution

Okay...scrap this....

Made a missing toolbar and decided to add some "separators" to the tab bar and suddenly it lets it stay on the right side. Just took the separators away and it actually moved where I wanted it to be. If I had thought of that quicker, could have saved posting here. At least it works now so not bothering it. *shrug*
