in version 4, readability has no icon; I checked add-on bar, but nothing happens. How do I get it back?

more options

After I installed Firefox 4, I noticed the Readability logo (R) was no longer at the bottom of the page to click on for making a long article into one uncluttered page. I reinstalled it - still no logo. So I read on your site that now there's an "add-on bar", and to make it visible you click in the Tabs area and check it - I did - no add-on bar appears, no Readability - What now? How do I get readability back, or must I go back to a previous version of Firefox?
