The "New Tab" (+) button to the right of the displayed tabs is missing. How do I get this back?

In the previous version of Firefox there was a (+) button to the right of the open tabs. Clicking this button would display previously visited webpages. This button seems to be missing in Firefox v.4.0.1.

Is this feature still available? Or am I just missing something?

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 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.

If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

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