Hi, I've recently downloaded firefox and trying to add extensions that were similar to the ones I used on chrome. My problem is that all the extensions (Hoverzoom, Short Keys) in the extensions tab in the toolbar and appear to not be working (both in private and normal browsing). However the extensions (Ublock, SponsorBlock) that have their own icon on the toolbar seem to be working fine.

I've attached a reference image,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Extensions that don't really have a button to interact with will be greyed out. I also have Hover Zoom+ and it's also greyed out in that extension list (It does have an option to put it's icon in the address bar, though). I actually have 7 extensions (BetterTTV, Exif Viewer, Hover Zoom+, HTTP Version Indicator, Link Text and Location Copier, RSSPreview, and SixInidicator) that are greyed out in that list 8 that are not. The one's that are greyed out also don't have a Pin to Toolbar option when clicking the gear icon.

So, it just depends on the extension. 3.1 Why is my extension not shown when I click the extensions button?
