Firefox 8.0 No New Tab displays next to open tab, have to manually select new tab
I am no longer seeing a New Tab when I have a tab in use... in FF 3.6, & 4.0 when I opened a site in a tab, then a New Tab would automatically appear to the right of the tab in use... I checked tab settings in OPTIONS, and all correct.... So now I have to manually select "New Tab" if I want to open a new tab....and it's not opening a new site into a new tab as is selected in OPTIONS, instead it opens in the current tab, so it's overriding the tab I am on... very frustrating.. How can I go back to FF 4.0????? thanks TB

You can use your keyboard shortcut: CTRL T
In Tools -> Options - Tabs, there is a checkbox for "When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately". Check that box and restart your browser.

Thanks, but I have that checked already... All Tab options are selected except "warn me when closing multiple tabs"... My issue is when I am in a current Tab, there is no New Blank tab to the right, as there was in 3.6 and 4.0 - I have to always manually select "New Tab" icon to get a new tab each time... tb

Do you see a + directly to the right of your last tab in the line of tabs? Clicking the + will open a new tab.
Nope - that's what's missing...;o(
Do you have any themes installed?
Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
If so, try selecting the default theme and restart the browser.
Also check to see if you can add the "+" by right-clicking on tab toolbar in a blank area and selecting "Customize...". Then select the "+" button from the list of available buttons and drag it to the right of the rightmost tab.
Another method:
1. Right click somewhere on the toolbar area and select Customize.
2. Add flexible space to the far right side of the tabs toolbar, to the left of the (now white) "+" icon.

Thanks for all your help - what I ended up doing - was from the Customize frame - I selected "Restore Default Set" and that did it... then I just continued to re customized... So YAHOO! the New Tab and "+" tabs are back... thanks again, Tb
