The latest version I have of Firefox moved the + to open new tabs way to the right. It was much easier on the left. Why was this done?

In the last update the plus sign to open a new tab was moved from the left side to the far right of the screen. I find this very inconvenient. Just wondering if this bothers anyone else. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

Downgrading won't help you. Open the Customize panel and move your plus sign to your desired place.

Thanks for that information. I moved it to the left side of the screen but I don't remember it being like that either. I was thinking the plus sign was always at the end of the last opened tab. Just click and open the next one. I may not be remembering correctly. Anyway, thanks for your help.

If you move the '+' on the customize page to the tab bar then it should snap to the last tab once you close the customize page. You only get the '+' at the end if you move this button outside the tab area or if the tabs overflow.
