Note that the Troubleshooting Information shows that those two extensions are disabled.

You can try "Clear the startup cache..." via the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

You can check for problems with the extensions registry files in the profile folder.

Try to reset the extensions registry and rename extensions.json (extensionsOLD.json) and rename/remove compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

New files will be created when required.

See "corrupt extension files":

You can check for possible updates in case of issues.

  • click the cogwheel (left of the Search bar) on the about:addons page to "Check for updates"

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

Thank you very much for your detailed information. I'm sorry, but there is no problem with the extension itself, I can't see the extension panel. I also checked regedit. I tried everything but it doesn't work. Can't you see the panel? It's the latest version of firefox developer.

I have an additional question, displayed when the extension is installed. Extensions can be found in the application menu You're not talking about the addon manager, are you? Description: Please tell me how to use it, as long as I can use the extended function. If possible, how to not show the add-on manager

Every window is a private window if you enabled "Never remember history" or "Always use private browsing mode" (browser.privatebrowsing.autostart set to true in about:config).
