Nevermind. I'm blind as hell and didn't see the option to restore defaults for the area. Now I can re-add the New Tab button.
Heh, I didnt even see the option to keep the tab bar open. Thanks for pointing it out Null because that helps alot (blind again

). +rep
*edit* and also, I too don't know how I put the New Tab button in the tab area, but I did and now I can't do it again for some reason.....
