Firefox toolbar not showing addon extensions

I have run Firefox for years on up to 4 PCs at once, everything has always synced and screens all look the same. Recently one laptop lost the addon extension icons in the Firefox toolbar. They remain on all other installations. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and installing an earlier build, and also the latest Beta build with no luck. All extensions show as installed and activated. I have copied the Profile from another laptop. I have of course done a reset. Any other suggestions?

Yes! I just found the extension icon on the toolbar. That brings up a different screen than when it is accessed through the dropdown menu. Thank you so much!

  1. Click the Extensions button (a puzzle piece).
  2. Click the Cogwheel icon on the right side of the specified extension.
  3. There should be "Pin to Toolbar" option. Just click it.

TyDraniu thank you for your prompt reply. I am not seeing the cogwheel beside each extension, only on the upper right beside Manage Your Extensions. I got here from the 3 line application menu and then clicked on Extensions. All extensions are enabled and there is a 3 dot dropdown menu but it does not show pin to toolbar.

Is it version 109? Try to upgrade and find the new Extension icon on a toolbar.
