Is it listed in the add-ons manager? If it is, does it have any error message next to it in the add-ons manager?

One possible cause for add-ons not working is one of the files that stores details of installed add-ons is corrupt. Try the following, open the Firefox profile folder, details of how to access this is shown in the profiles article. Once in the profile folder, close Firefox and then delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions,rdf and compatibility.ini. When you re-start Firefox those files will be re-created and in the process it will re-build the list of installed extensions and themes.
