Which localized version are you using (to test)?

As you can see in the image, Hebrew

I tested with the latest Nightly 47 for Hebrew (see https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-l10n/) and it works fine for me. In the Customizastion panel, I can place the "+" icon on the left or the right and its selected position is kept after closing the Customize menu.

Thank you. I tested with nightly and it seems it works.
But I found 2 things I still didn't like:
1. When customizing, the + icon goes to the side, and does not stayed in its place. If a user wants to have a group of buttons in that side, and he wants to put the + button as the last one towards the tabs, he can't do that. The + button returns to the Tabs place. You may want to fix it with adding Flexible Space feature to Customiztion Panel.
2. The icon is changed if from + to Tab buttons. It depends if I put it in Tabs line or Menu line. IMO it should be the same icon. For changing the icon should be an Addon.

I have the same problem with Firefox Developer Edition 58.0b11
I moved the New Tab button, and now it doesn't seem possible to pin it back to the last open tab (blue arrow): https://i.imgur.com/cWV051p.png
Restoring to defaults didn't help either.

I'm using English locale, so it's not right-to-left for me. Should I file a separate bug?
