Description Reinhard Gimbel 2005-08-27 11:19:08 UTC

The "add new tab" button (left hand side of tab line) is missing; the "delete
current tab" button (right hand side of that line) is still available.

See screenshot enclosed.

Missing "add new tab" button (left hand side)

Comment 2 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-08-27 19:01:21 UTC

this is most probably a bug in the plastikfox theme. Please check the other
themes. They should have the button.

Comment 3 Reinhard Gimbel 2005-08-27 21:32:32 UTC

I checked theme settings of firefox. I used the "default" scheme. Neither using
"plastikfox" nor using "industrial" changed the behaviour. I checked it on two
different maschines. Same result: No "add new tab" button.

Comment 4 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-08-27 21:47:24 UTC

hmm, you're right. But is this behaviour different at all to the original Firefox?
IIRC only mozilla has such a "new tab" button but I can't remember that Firefox
has one.

Ok, initialy this button appears as soon as at least two tabs are open. This
can behaviour can be changed using the options menu.

With SuSE93 everything is ok.

And with WinXP version of Firefox-1.0.6, too.

Comment 8 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-08-28 11:42:13 UTC

I don't know what's going on but I don't get this new tab button with Firefox
1.0.6 on SUSE 9.3.
I can't open the attachment from comment #6.

Comment 9 Reinhard Gimbel 2005-08-29 15:27:10 UTC

While browsing for a different problem I found a work-around/solution(?) for the
"missing icons"-issue (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113533). It
is related to file /opt/kde3/share/icons/default.kde/index.theme

More details are mentioned in thread
http://www.linux-club.de/viewtopic.php?t=39850&highlight=icons

The work-around/solution described in the thread mentioned above works for me. I
don't know if that work-around/solution helps to find the real cause.

Comment 10 Reinhard Gimbel 2005-09-03 17:42:26 UTC

To Wolfgang Rosenauer: Sorry, did not look into this case for some days.
Attachment to comment #6 generally looks like attachment to comment #7 ("Add New
Tab" button left of the first tab.

At this time problem seems to be solved as described under comment #9.
I have no idea if this problem is a KDE problem only, if it is a firefox problem
only, if it is a GNOME problem, or if it is a intersection of all of the areas
mentioned before.

But again: Problem solved after applying the procedure as mentioned in comment
#9. Maybe this can help experts to locate the root cause ...

Comment 11 JP Rosevear 2007-05-11 20:08:33 UTC

Googling shows me that the new tab button is actually an extension.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1456

Install and works fine on 10.3.
