how do I use tabs in finder on mojave

In the previous version of OS X you could easily add tabs in finder with the plus sign in the top right corner. Since upgrading to Mojave, the plus sign is no longer there. While decompressing a file, i got an option to open it in a new tab, but otherwise have been unable to use the feature. Does anyone know how to re-enable that plus sign?

Tabs in Finder In Mojave the Finder has lost its ability to save the tabs. I really like this feature so I can go from tab to tab of my favorite files. As soon as I close the Finder window or re-start my iMac, the tabs are gone. When will a fix be available? As a 2nd question, clicking on the download icon in the dock shows files in alphabetical order. I want to see the most recent file, not search by alphabet. How can I change this?

Pin tabs in Finder Before the last big MacOS update (to Mojave?) I was able to pin multiple tabs in Finder, which would be open every time I restarted my computer or reopened Finder. This would save me from having to re-open the same new tabs every time (e.g. there would already be a tab for 'Documents', for 'Downloads' or for 'Desktop'). Is there a way to recreate this on the newest update? Thank you in advance!

"Hide Extension" checkbox missing from Mojave Save As dialoge box I recently upgraded to Mojave and I have noticed that the checkbox to show/hide the file extension in missing from the "Save As" dialogue box. I'm not sure if this is a bug or has been moved to a setting somewhere, but it's crippling my workflow to have to manually add the file extension when saving uncheck "hide extension" in the file info window in finder. By default Mojave isn't saving with file extensions, so it's a bit frustrating. This is happening OS-wide, every app is hiding the file extension by default. Is there a way to get the "hide extension" checkbox back, or to enable file extensions?
