Try unchecking View -> Switcher Appearance -> Hide Buttons.
Oops, yes, that fixed it. However, why was that option enabled by default?
Because the evolution in F8 tries to give the appearance of more independent apps - thats also the reason for having separate menu items for mail, calendar, etc.
Okay, design choice. Not sure why I had such a hard time noticing the Show/Hide widget. Closing.
