Bug Description

Since the new tabbar UI, the new tab button is present in the tabbar itself.

It doesn't appear that you can hide the tab bar, so I think it's reasonable to say that it's unnecessary to have this piece of UI duplicated in a less obvious location.

If you enable the Tab panel addon you would need that button in the urlbar, but if there was a add tab button in that addon (on the sidebar)....... then the button could be removed.

This is what I mean, no way to open a new tab with this setup other than putting a newtab button on the urlbar.

I second the menu item is redundant now.

Donte, the default config has a conditionally hidden button in the toolbar that is visible if you use the tab panel. Though I do agree it's not ideal, this kind of magic isn't very discoverable. So maybe putting the button in the tab panel is the best option.

I take back what I said about the conditional button, I'm living in the past, the tool button never ever shows even though it exists. Brainstorming on irc.
