New Tab Button on Navigation Toolbar

Unread post by fjrman » 2016-05-11, 20:11

I don't always show the tab bar. I haven't clicked that option in "Tabs". For much of the time I'm only using one tab so the tab bar is unnecessary.

For those times where I want to open a new tab I typically use the keyboard shortcut. Sometimes I open the "Pale Moon" drop down menu and click on New Tab.

You have a "New Window" button which can be added to the navigation toolbar.

I'd like to have a comparable "New Tab" button which I could add to the navigation toolbar. Obviously you have one on the tab bar but if you don't have the tab bar open that button can't be accessed.

Maybe you offer this button and I haven't found it. Thanks.

Just drag it to the Navigation Toolbar?

Can you have a New Tab button on the tab bar and the navigation toolbar?

Don't want to move the button from the tab bar.

No that is not possible without additional code to make it happen. This would be the perfect target for a very simple Toolkit (Overlay) extension to provide the duplicate functionality.

You could try this site for custom toolbar buttons: https://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/toolbar_button_maker/.

I just installed a 'New Tab' button from this site. It worked as expected.

I moved the new tab button from the tab bar to the navigation toolbar.

In that location the button is always available.

I didn't realize I could move the button from the tab bar. I assumed it was a fixed feature.

I assume I could also use mouse gestures to open new tabs.
