Extensions are installed and running but dont show up next to the 3-bar menu. Add-ons Manager says "The following extensions do not have shortcuts: 

   Facebook Container
   LastPass: Free Password Manager
   TrafficLight"

They used to show up a couple of days ago but I cant find the area in Options to correct the problem. How do I make them re-appear?

Thank you in advance, Jerry

You should be able to add the shortcut to the Firefox toolbar by using the Customize option in the Firefox menu. See Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars for more information.

Hope this helps.

This is about having a keyboard shortcut to access the extension. Those extension shortcuts are managed on the about:addons page via the cogwheel button (Manage Extension Shortcuts).

What you may seem to have is missing icons on the Navigation Toolbar to access the extension, so do not get confused.

You may have to click Restore Defaults in the Customize palette window.

So far no luck. Restore Customize Default didn't work. Only 1 button (Last Pass) found in Customize. I dragged it to the Navigation Bar. 1 down 2 to go. How do I get the buttons for the other two add-ons? Is there some setting to adjust in Options causing this? All three are Enabled.

Thanks, Jerry

Like cor-el said above, the message on your second screenshot that you've circled is referring purely to keyboard shortcuts. That would be pressing a certain combination of keys to open the extension, not the visible UI buttons on the toolbar.

However, the add-ons that you are having issues with should indeed have toolbar buttons, so you're issue is a bit strange. Does setting the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets preference to false using the about:config page in Firefox and then restarting the browser help?

See Configuration Editor for Firefox if you are unfamiliar with the process of using the about:config page to modify preferences.

Your dark theme might not support these toolbar icons, so may try the default theme.
