In 3.6 I replaced my "home" button with with a new tab button. In Firefox 4 when I "customize" the tool bar there is a "new window" button, but no "new tab" button.

Has anyone seen a feature like this in the add-ons?

tl;dr I want to replace my "home button" with a "new tab button"

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 on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Window button.

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

Cool this works...but now I dont have a new tab button at the end of the tabs bar haha.

Is there a way to have two of the same button?
