In Firefox 5.0 I cannot view add-ons and can't tell if they're running.

When I click on Tools | Add-ons, Firefox just takes me to the Mozilla Web page for add-ons instead of showing me a list of the add-ons installed on this machine. I can't tell what add-ons are running and which are not. I re-installed Forecastfox, but I still can't see the Forecastfox information icons at the bottom of the browser screen. Adblock Plus is running, but now it has its own place in the Tools menu, separate from other add-ons.

Are you sure you are not just viewing the "Get Addions" panel of the Add-on Manager as just look to the left side where it says "Extensions" and click on that.

Whew! Thanks. I wasn't expecting the information to be in the browser window. And now that I selected View Add-on Bar I can see the Forecastfox weather info. Thank you again.
