My OS is Windows 7 and I recently upgraded to Firefox 23.0.1 and then installed the extensions: Print/Print Preview 0.9 and Printfriendly initial rev 72.1. When I go to the add on manager they are listed and not disabled. Under Toolbars, the following are selected: Menu Bar, Navigation Tool Bar, Bookmarks Tool Bar, Add-On-Bar. I don't see any of my Extensions on the Add-On-Bar. At the bottom left of the browser window appears an "x" for closing the Add-On-Bar. There is nothing else showing.

Look in the Customize Palette for those toolbar buttons.

How do I customize or rearrange toolbar items?

Thanks for your reply. I neglected to say in my original post that I had first gone to the customize palette and Print/Print Preview and Print Friendly were not there. Any other suggestions?

Print/Print Preview uses and appends to the default Print button that comes with Firefox. If you don't have that button, use the Restore Default Set button in the lower-right corner of the Palette.

As far as Print Friendly, the AMO download page says that button is placed on the Add-on Bar by default. If it isn't there maybe "Restore ...." will fix it, and if not I would suspect a compatibility issue.

Beyond that I can't help you, as I use the Print Edit extension which works fine with Print/Print Preview . I don't like Print Friendly due that extension using their website instead of doing the "editing" within the users browser. Potential security issues for me.

Note, I have tried the Print Friendly bookmarklet which works very much like their extension, and after examining the code and having a person who I consider well-versed with JavaScript look at it - I decided to use Print Edit instead.
