Facebook social plugins not showing
I tried the "Restart Firefox with add-ons disabled" and the Facebook Social Plugins are there.
I tried going back to the mode where I have add-ons, then I disabled ALL ADD-ONS, but the facebook social plugins are not there anymore.
So I'm confused now. So is the source of the problem really the add-ons??? Because I literally disabled every single one of them (but they weren't removed) and the FSP are still nowhere to be found (in any/every possible site)
Please help with this problem. Thanks.

What kind of add-on are the Facebook social plugins -- which section of the Add-ons page do they appear under? For example, Plugins, Extensions, or Services.
I'm not sure it affects add-ons, but just in case, I will mention this:
If you are browsing in private windows, you may have noticed a new "shield" icon in the address bar. Firefox's Tracking Protection feature will often block external content from social networks since that allows the networks to track your browser. To make an exception for the current site, or to turn off Tracking Protection, please see this article:
Oh, so it was the Tracking Protection in the options which I had left checked. Thanks!

I think the problem still exists in normal (not incognito) tabs, which setting do I need to tinker for the tracking protection of normal tabs?
Firefox doesn't normally apply Tracking Protection to non-private windows. Does the "shield" icon appear on the address bar? If so, you can make a site-specific exception. To check whether the feature is enabled in regular windows, you can check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste track and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the privacy.trackingprotection.enabled preference is bolded and "user set" to true, double-click it to restore the default value of false
(Note: the privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled preference is the one that changes when you use the checkbox in the Privacy panel of the Options/Preferences page)
