I have never noticed this before so is it a new feature or have I just missed it for ages.
just got the latest update for FF and have noticed that with one tab open if you move the mouse to just the right of that tab a small 'button' type thing appears to open a new tab when you click it

is it new or not  :)

I must admit 3.5.1 is a pretty solid browser.

If you want to get rid of the new 'tab_bar' go to Tools > Options > Tabs and untick 'Always show the tab_bar' as in my screen shot  ;)

no I like tabbed browsing but i just realised why my 1st post might sound daft to some, its because I use a theme called PitchDark and the new tab button shows as a small dark button, hard to see really.

Its not just PitchDark which I used to use until I found Black Steel (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9304). The tab buttons are still the same though............
