How do i get an extension to appear in the add-on bar?
I am new to Firefox and have downloaded the BBc news extension and the add-on bar extension yet am unable to see it in the add-on bar
Chosen solution
Is this the exact add-on you have installed? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/latest-bbc-news/
If so, if you look at the first screenshot it shows the BBC News button on the Navigation Toolbar, where it should appear in Firefox 29 since the Add-on Bar was removed. Using an Add-on Bar extension probably won't automatically place that button on the "restored" Add-on Bar.
Beyond that, you may need to contact the developer of that Add-on for help. Another user mentioned that button being lost all the way back in February, here: http://www.redrobe.com/mike/bbc-news-add-ons-for-firefox-and-chrome/

Yes that is the one,have decided to uninstal it
Thanks for all your help 'the -edmeister'
you know, these solutions may work for this particular extension, but it really doesn't answer the question asked, which was: "How do i get an extension to appear in the add-on bar?". How about answering that question?
