I disabled addons to see if button would show. it did show next time I installed, next to the "mozilla foundation (us), " in url box before the actual url, but then disappeared when I clicked on the symbol for it, to be replaced by a green lock.

There is a security update; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version 50.0.2


https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved You may have corrupt xulstore.json or Localstore.rdf file.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

Locate the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.

In case that after the update the button still disappears or won't show at all; here's an add-on that should do the trick:

(by the way:   that green padlock is supposed to be there, right next to 'Mozilla Foundation ')
