My adds on are back but are not showing or available
I lost access to add-ons like others. I updated FF and they showed up for one evening. Now, they are not showing up at the top right of my browser window. I tried to add a pic but could not - the Browse button accepted the pic but then just spun. I tried that 2 times.

Thank you so much. Your solution was written in a way easy enough for a non-techy person to follow and actually solved my problem, and very quickly. Much appreciate it.
