This is about addons. I have read the support article on finding and mana addons and it didn't solve my problem. I can't find some of the addons I installed although they appear on the list of addons installed on the tools addons page. Some are on the long press menu but those I can't find include bluhell, tap tap wrap, tap translate and add block edge.

They appear on the Add-ons list as being enabled, but there doesn't seem to be any user interface to actually use them?

I haven't experimented with those particular extensions. If you don't see what the screen shots on the add-ons site show, usually there is a support link for the extension, or you may find usage tips in the reviews from other users who ran into the same problem.

By the way, if the long press context menu is very long, you might need to scroll it to get to items at the bottom. Android doesn't always make this obvious with a scroll bar. You can press and flick/swipe upwards on a menu item to see whether this is the issue.

Many extensions add themselves to the Android menu button. The details vary by device. Either your phone has a menu button near the home and back buttons or there will be a 3 dot menu on the right of the address bar.
