Hi Robert, thank you for that!

Click the Add button:
TypeError: mutation.target.closest is not a function l10n.js:44:58
TypeError: contentPane is null subdialogs.js:434:7
I get that first one, too. Must not be fatal.
The second one is part of the code path for the dialog being too tall and needing a scroll bar. (Line 434) I think we found the problem.
As a test, I shrank the vertical area of the page by opening the developer tools panel (Ctrl+Shift+i). Depending on the height left for the page, the Add New Address would fail to show and I would get that error in the Browser Console.
Could you temporarily reduce the zoom level on the Options page (hold down Ctrl and tap the - key a couple times) and see whether that lets you add the address?

Hello Robert,
Are you located in either the US, Canada or Germany ? If not, that might explain why the button doesn't respond.
See : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/Form_Autofill#Child_Pages
I am in the US.
I am going to try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox.
Reinstalled Firefox and now Autofill has disappeared from the Privacy and Security options. ????

Oh boy ....
Probably a rhetorical question, but did you make sure you installed the en_US Firefox version ?
Installed Firefox Installer.exe from the Mozilla website. See attachment for Property details.
Would you check this please :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (ignore the warning)
Type in the search bar and look for the preference :
extensions.formautofill.available and make sure its value is set to on.
if you had to change the value; then close and restart Firefox.
Is "Forms and Autofill" back ?

It was set to detect, changed to true. Closed and restarted Firefox. "Forms and Autofill" is still absent.

You should set the value to on .....
Would you give that a try ?
Set extensions.formautofill.available to "on". Restarted Firefox and Forms and Autofill are back. Thanks for that.
However, when I choose Saved Addresses, Add, the Add button does not do anything. I can't add an address. This was the original problem.
Would you check this on the "about:config" page :
extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled
Its value should be set to true
If everything else fails, then let's try Firefox in Safe Mode :
In your original piot you say "Doesn't work in Safe Mode" - I don't know if that means that the button doesn't work in Safe Mode, or the problem doesn't excist in Safe Mode (?)
If Firefox is not running : Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running : 3-bar menu => ' ? ' (at the bottom of the dropdown) => 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Then OK the restart. A small dialog should appear. Click 'Start in Safe Mode' ( not 'Refresh' !)

I tried this originally. It still doesn't activate the "Add" button.

Have you checked this ?
extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled was set to 'true'.
I'm all out of ideas (so sorry .... )
I hope that someone else will come to your rescue !
I've sent a private message to a fellow contributor and asked
him to come to your rescue.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
It's 00.31AM over here, but before I'm off to bed I want to ask you to
check this preference on the "about:config" page (just to make sure).
extensions.formautofill.supportedCountries
US, already looked at that. Where are you? I'm in Texas.
