The first thing that I do after installing Firefox is add the “New Tab” button. With Firefox tabbed interface, I find that creating a new tab is my most often used command (I even use it more than the back button). There is a keyboard shortcut (ctrl-T) for creating a new tab, but I browse with my left hand on the keyboard and my right on the mouse, so having a toolbar button that I can click is simpler and quicker than reaching with my pinky on the ctrl and T keys.

Here’s how to add the “New Tab” button to the default Firefox toolbar:

1. Right-click on an unused area in the toolbar and select Customize
2. Find the New Tab button and drag it to the toolbar. I place it to the right of the home button for consistency across the different computers that I use.
3. Click Done
