When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

Did you move the New Tab button to the palette or to another toolbar?

You can try to click "Restore Default Set", that should bring that button back on the tab bar.

Hi cor-el resetting solved my problem, but the older version 3.6 had a default new tab button that cannot be customized and one more was available in the custom toolbar But version 4 has only one customizable new tab hence the problem. Thanks for your tip. But now i have one more problem I'll post it separately.

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 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.
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.
