There's a + sign to the right of the tabs for me. If it's not there then press ctrl + T for the shortcut way of opening a tab.

Yes there is a + sign to the right of my tabs also. Right clicking on a tab also has the option for a new tab.

Try restarting Firefox to see if it appears or check Customise for the option and drag it to the tab bar.

Thanks guys.

No + sign on mine, I knew I had seen one earlier before I had to reboot my laptop for MSE updates. Looks like I need to report mine and reinstall. Phew, Not having a blond moment after all. :D

Have you changed the theme? if so change it back to default and try putting tabs on top or tabs on bottom to see if that corrects the issue.

I'd like it much more if I could figure out how to stop it showing each tab I have as a seperate window in aero peek.

Tools/Options/Tabs, untick 'show tab previews' is that what you mean?

Done all that and restarted firefox. The funny thing is there is no icon in view > toolbars> customise, for quite a few bits that are missing such as a refresh icon, full screen or print icon.

At least this version has the open in 'new tab' and 'open new window' options in Bookmarks back in that order. I got browned off with the last beta keeping on opening new windows because the options were not the in the same order as I was used to.

Oh well off to do my reinstall.

Does anyone else have this issue where the 'go to new post' icon is missing in Firefox 4 beta 6? It's just vanished and i haven't done anything, i've tried clearing my cache and closing the browser?

edit

Working on my laptop so unsure what the problem is!

I think mine was ok!

Have you sorted your problem out now with the new tab button?

Tried the 1st beta, wasn't really impressed, but this 6th Beta is a lot nicer, seems a little cleaner and more responsive.

Not up to now. :( I wiped the original beta 6 off my laptop and reinstalled it. No improvement, in frustration I fired up my old workhorse and, after dealing with 3 months backlog of updates .... has it really been that long since I was well enough to work :shocked:, I installed it on there. Success, everything as it should be.

So why do I still have things missing on my Laptop version? It has be be something causing some kind of conflict thingy so I am going to disable everything in add-ons and see what happens unless you or anyone else has any other ideas.

If I actually uninstall all my add-ons will that also effect the add-ons in my main firefox 3?

I'm starting to wish I had stayed a scaredy cat and waited for the final version.

I think it does, unless both versions are using a different profile. Don't quote me on that though, I could be wrong.

Ah, now that's an idea. I have a different profile set up on a proxy IP on my laptop. I wonder what will happen if I set up the new beta on that. Thanks Craig I owe you one.
