I want to have an icon for New Tab on the toolbar. I cannot find such icon on the Customize option. Is this possible? BTW I tried to check options-->tabs-->open new windows in a new tab instead, but this does not help and when clicking the "new Window" icon on the toolbar, indeed a new window - and not a new tab - opens.

Thanks.

The "+" sign to the right of a tab opens a new one. Or you can hit CTRL+T.

You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab (+) button form the tab bar on another toolbar. It will become a regular New Tab toolbar button.

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
