I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on both my laptop and my desktop. My desktop is running Windows XP Professional and my laptop is running Windows 7. On my desktop computer, I have a big "New Tab" button but I can't seem to get that same button on my laptop.

That is a link to the button I am talking about. Very weird issue. Anyone have some ideas?

Thanks.

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.

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

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.
