How do I run an add-on?
I have installed an add-on named Smugglr for moving images from the Zenfolio photo hosting service to the SmugMug service. But I cannot find how to start the add-on. I am brand new to Firefox. How do I run this add-on?

Is the addon enabled under the orange Firefox button > Addons ?
Thanks for using Firefox!
Yes, it is enabled. I managed to get it to start. I had to hit F10 to bring up the old-style menu, and then the add-on appeared under the Tools menu. I still have no idea of where the Tools menu is in the new-style interface.
Have you reinstalled the addon or is the icon in the toolbar, refer to the articles below.
- Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar
- The Add-on Bar gives you quick access to add-on features
- Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars
And for new users.

Check the Customize palette to see if there is a Smugglr toolbar button you can move to a toolbar.

It is a very basic extension that only adds an item to the Tools menu.
There is no menu item added elsewhere (i.e. in the Firefox menu button drop-down list).
- chrome://SmuggLr/content/SmuggLrOverlay.xul
<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup">
<menuitem label="SmuggLr" position="8" oncommand=" toOpenWindowByType('extension:SmuggLr', 'chrome://SmuggLr/content/SmuggLr.xul', 'chrome,dialog=no,centerscreen,width=900,height=700');"/>
</menupopup>
