Addons are not installing. They are all enabled and appear in my addons list but are not in the toolbar. Have tried customise toolbar not there
I have Firefox 70.0.1 (64-bit) running on Windows 10 Pro. I recently added several addons to firefox on a fresh install (new laptop) prior to syncing to my account from another PC, but despite appearing on the list of addons as enabled, (and all having worked for me previously on my old laptop) the new extensions do not appear in my toolbar or on the list of items to include in the toolbar when I click on customize. I have closed and restarted both firefox and my machine, and removed and reinstalled the addons several times but none of this has helped. I also synced my account and clicked the include addons checkbox and this did not help either.

Did you try to click Restore Defaults in the Customize palette window?
I tried your method, still no difference
sorry new to forums, thought I responded to one person at a time! But I did try both cor-el and FredMcD suggestions and neither made a difference
Please list the add-ons that are having issues.

My list of add-ons are:

I have even tried installing random add ons that I wouldn't use from add.ons.mozillla.org just to test if its the specific ones I have and nothing will install.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Many have reported issues using the 64bit Firefox. Install the 32bit version from; Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
