I accidentally managed to delete the "New Tab" from the Navigation tool bar and I can't get it back. Can you help?

I wanted to rearrange to Navigation toolbar and accidentally deleted the "Add new tab" from it. I now have the "Stop loading this page", "Reload current page" and "Home" buttons, but the new tab button is gone! I checked the "Customize" panel, but it's vanished from there too. All that's there is a "Open in a new window" tool. I'm aware that i can open a new tab just by clicking the plus next to the open tabs or Ctrl+T, but I'm used to doing it with the actual button, so I'd be grateful if you could help me. 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.
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.
