Red/Green Box with A not displaying in upper right on menu bar

I have a point of sale system that requires content not blocked. However, Firefox does not display the red/green “button”. It needs to be red for my credit card machine to process. I need to see it red to ensure it is set correctly. How do I get Firefox to display this button?

Hi ronaldarichey, that button is associated with an add-on, although I can't remember which one. If you hover your mouse over the button without clicking, there might be a tooltip that identifies the extension, or you can read over the list and see whether you can figure out which one it might be. Then you'll need to install the same extension on your other Firefox profile.

You can view, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  • type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.

Then read down the right side and hopefully you'll spot it.

Hmm, you posted from an Apple iOS device under the Android category, which is a little confusing. Could you clarify whether the problem is in a mobile version of Firefox, or a Windows/Mac/Linux version?

Good question- my point of sale is actually on desktop PCs.

Can you attach a screenshot?

In the uploaded image, you will see the Red Box with "A" in it. This box does not show on my other sign in when I open firefox. This is on the same computer just different sign in. How do I add this Red Box?
