New Tab icon missing from FF17 on Win7-64, not missing from FF17 on XPSP3-32; why?
The navigation toolbar icon set has "New Tab" available in FF16 and FF17 on Win XPSP3 (32bit), but this control is not in the customization set in FF17 on Win7HP (64bit). How do a get the "New Tab" control in the toolbar in Win7?

by cosmicvoidOk, thanks. I didn't think to look at the right end of the tab bar. So it seems that now there will be no '+' tab on the tab bar.

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 that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar New Tab button.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

That "+" button should get moved to the far right end side of the Tab bar if you open the customize window.
Did you try to click the Restore Default Set button as posted above?

Sorry, that does not work. As soon as the Customize dialog is opened, the '+' tab on the tab bar disappears, so it cannot be dragged. The '+' cannot be dragged otherwise, either.

Not if you move that button to another toolbar.
