The "Open a new tab" button is located in the tab bar of Firefox 41.0.2. How do I move it up so it's to the right of an opened tab? I want it to work like the "New tab" + button in Chrome.

Right now, I have to remember where the + icon is located, then move the mouse there to click it. With a wide screen, the mouse movement is significant. I know I can Ctrl T to open a tab, but I want the ability to click a + icon that's located to the right of the last opened tab. How do I accomplish this?

I have the Tab Mix Plus addon but don't see where I can make the change to move the "Open a new tab" icon to where I want it.

The new tab (+) button is normally positioned directly next to the last open tab. I don't know if TMP has a setting for the position of this button, but if this button is showing in the wrong position then you can try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette. Otherwise it is probably best to ask advice at the TMP forum.

This worked: http://tmp.garyr.net/support/viewpage.php?t=3&p=display-tab-bar

Click on Customize... and drag the New Tab Button to the tabbar.
