1. Restart your computer Sometimes problems can be fixed by simply restarting your computer and then starting Firefox again.
2. Clear your cookies and cache Many problems with loading web pages can be resolved by clearing Firefox's cookies and cache: 1.Click the Library button on your toolbar. (If you don't see it there, click the menu button then click Library.) Click Historyand select Clear Recent History…. 2.In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything. 3.Below the drop-down menu, select both Cookies and Cache. Make sure other items you want to keep are not selected. 4.Click Clear Now. For more information, see Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.
3. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables extensions, uses the default theme, turns off hardware acceleration and uses default toolbar settings, among other changes (see this article for details). To start Firefox in Safe Mode:
1.Click the menu button , click Help and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled…. Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog. Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shiftkey while starting Firefox. 2.In the Firefox Safe Mode dialog, click Start in Safe Mode. 3.Check whether your problem is still happening while in Safe Mode.
If the problem still happens in Safe Mode, go on to step 4.

Hello Mary! To show your add-ons in the address (tool) bar, follow my steps below..
1. Click on the menu button (3 horizontal lines) on the the top right corner
2. Click Customize..(usually a paintbrush icon)
3. Then you can drag what Add-ons you want to appear on the toolbar
Done!
Tell me if I helped and Stay Safe!
Does this help?
Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars
Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar.
Note: about:customizing is no longer present in Firefox 47+ releases.
Press Alt or F10 to bring up the toolbar. Then View > Toolbars > Customize. Right-click on a blank spot in the toolbar and select Customize. In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be. You can move any of the icons you want from here, but; some icons are locked in place.
There is also a Restore Defaults button at the bottom middle.
they all show on the menu bar and address bar but after running cc cleaner and glary when i click on them they do not work for eample font contrast no longer shows up in menu bar and address bar after running these two aps
even if i fresh them they still do not come back up
i think you are all not undeestanding what i am saying every addon /extention was working in the menu bar and bookmark bar until i ra ccleaner and glary now when i try to clic on any of thethem in the menu bar nothing works or some have dissappeared
Does this happen with other browsers?
just firefox
not sure if it is a firefox thing or what' but only firefox the other day i uninstallre indsatalled refreshed many times before it worked
First, what are those add-ons? Do they have icons? Some don't.
Second; Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar. In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be. You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some icons are locked in place.
Hi Mary, I don't know what all CCleaner and Glary remove, so it's difficult to understand how your Firefox ended up in this state.
What have you tried so far? For example:
(A) System Restart
If you haven't already, please exit out of Firefox and do a regular shutdown and restart of Windows to free any locked files and complete any pending updates.
(B) Disable and Re-enable each extension
Yes, turning it off and on again! One possible culprit would be an extension. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. On the right side, find the "Manage Your Extensions" heading. Each extension should have a button that looks like a slider switch. Click to toggle back and forth between enabled and disabled.
Any improvement?
(C) Remove and Reinstall each extension
You might try this with just one of them and see whether it makes any difference. Any data stored by the extension (such as custom settings or accumulated data) is likely to get lost in this process, if it wasn't lost already.
it seems to do it when Firefox has anew version update. I tried all those things I finally got it by uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. is there a way i can configure firefox to manually let me know of new version instead of automatically updating. the other day i tried 5 times to finally get all my extensions to work. when id click on them nothing would come up just l for example last pass and any of my ad blockers just would not light up and work. I do have several add ons but that should have no bearing on it. I will try to refrain from running cc cleaner and glary

On the Options page, there's a tiny search bar near the top, type update in there to find the setting.
i just reinstalled firefox and all extensions and worked for about a half hour now all adons not wotking again. I f this continues to happen i will be using another browser which i do not want to do
it seemed to do it after i went to instagram and now al ads on not working like last pass font cache all of my ad blockers nothing i do not want to keep uninstalling and re installing firerfox it is apain i have shut down and re started and did nothing
have done everything you have said and it still hapopens getting really aggravated here
it is like something is blocking it
can you recommed some tech to look into this please like a remote connect
Hi Mary, someone else's add-on problems reminded me to suggest the storage test. After several seconds, this page should show good on all four tests. Does yours show any problems:
almost like there is something blocking the menu bar and book mark bar
