Like many firefox users I ran the Nectar Toolbar sucessfully for a long time. After a recent Firefox upgrade the Nectar toolbar no longer appears. I have deleted the Nectar Toolbar program and re-installed it several times but to no avail. How do I get it to appear on my desktop so that I can use it for searching the web?

Chosen solution

  1. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
  2. Click Extensions on the left.
  3. If there's an "Enable" button next to the Nectar Toolbar entry, click it, then restart Firefox.
  4. Right-click the Nectar Tooblar entry and choose Find Updates.
  5. You may also need to right-click an empty area of the tab bar and check Nectar Toolbar in the context menu that pops up.

If the problems persist, contact the add-on author for support.

Thank you to the Gingerbread Man. It did not work exactly as you suggested but the toolbar is now installed and working.

Many thanks.

Like ebbajohn i had tried several times to install the nectar toolbar after the update. unfortunately i did not have it listed under extensions to click enable but i did come up with another fix. (i knew that nectar had been installed, as it is present in I.E)

1. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons. 2. Click Extensions on the left. 3. Click on the setting cog icon and select install add on from file. 4. Browse to the program folder for the nectar toolbar. i.e c/program files/nectar toolbar. and open that folder. 5. Select the nectar.xpi file and open

This will now install the toolbar. Firefox will ask to restart and when it re-opens you should see the toolbar installed and ready for you to log in with your nectar card details.
