Four different ways to open new tabs

There are four ways you can open a new tab in Firefox, listed from slowest to quickest:

Add a button to the toolbar
This one requires a bit of set up first. Right-click anywhere on the toolbar and choose Customize. Click and drag the New Tab icon to somewhere on your toolbar. Click Done in the Customize Toolbar dialogue. Now simply clicking on the button will open a new tab
Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + t
Right-click on the tab bar and choose New Tab
Double click anywhere on the tab bar where there isn't a tab (including in the small section above the tab)
