The "new tab" button (+) can be moved to the tab row, but you are only
able to place it on the left (below the "File" menu item).

This is very counter-intuitive and is an odd change from previous
versions. Why would the user expect to click a button the left to open
a tab that pops in on the far right. There should be a plus sign right
where the tab-to-be is.

A design blunder and a very annoying one in practice. It's like having
the on button on the back of the TV.

Umm, the new tab button is on the right.

The "new tab" button for FF5 is on the right. However, when I first
updated to FF5, the button was on the left. This was a problem associated
with openSUSE extensions which disappeared when they were removed.
Obviously you haven't got the same extension but it could be another one
causing your problem.
