Opening recently closed tabs by right-clicking (the mouse) over the tab bar was available in Firefox up through the last released update to v3.6. I found it useful and easy to use. I understand that I can use 3 left-mouse clicks to open a recently closed tab from the history (click on upper-left Firefox button, navigate to/click on History, and then navigate to/click on Recently Closed Tabs), or press CTRL+SHIFT+T. Up until version 3.6, I could just simply right-click the tab bar to re-open a closed tab. Can right-clicking the tab bar be re-instituted in Firefox v4?

That tab context menu only shows if you right click a tab on the Tab bar.
If you right click empty space then the toolbar context menu opens.
