Please can you put the "Open New Tab" button back where it was on the right hand side of the tabs, or at least give an option to put it there? Thanks.

In the line of tabs along the top of the screen, there used to be an extra tab with a + in it that you clicked to open a new tab, on the right hand end of the tabs. As the tabs always float left and new tabs appear on the right this was (in my opinion) the most logical place for it. However, now the only two places I am able to put this "tab" are at the extreme left, which is illogical seeing as the new tab appears on the right, or in the toolbar along with other tools. This is adequate, but I would prefer to see the "new tab" tab back where it was.

The option to put it on the far right of the tab ribbon was not working until this latest version of Firefox, by the way, but I'm sure you know this!

Open the Customize view and use the Restore Defaults button to get "Open a new tab" back where it belongs.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.
