Apparently some aren't having any issues with the extension installing (see the dates of the reviews on the extension page) but I am. It installed perfectly fine on Firefox 21 previously (more issues with this later though). Now in FF 22 it no longer installs.

What happens is regardless of method (either installing directly from the extension page or from the add ons console built into FF) the extension will not install. I download the extension, it prompts me to restart. I do so, only to come back with the inability to even locate the button for the extension. It is listed as installed in my extensions overview BUT I can still click the install button on the Feedly extension page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/feedly/). Afterward it "installs" again but with the same problem as before.

I even went back to FF 21 to see if it would work again but it was to no avail now I'm really confused.

No matter how many times I try (complete removal / reinstallation of FF didn't help) the extension just will not install. Is this fixable?

Thanks, I haven't thought to try older versions (why I don't know, silly me). For whatever reason 16.0.500 works fine but 16.0.528 won't install properly.

Well either way I've got the extension installed and updated, really appreciate the help even though you fixed it inadvertently ;)

Same problem, tried to install feedly v16 on a fresh firefox profile but no icon appeared (and couldn't be found in Customize). Used the link above to install v14 and then the icon appeared, then updated to v16 and icon is still there.
