Seeing the icon for an Add On

Great browser. But, am i just stupid? After one hour I cannot find the location in a menu bar that shows the icons for add ons. Sure I see the first seven (attached file) add ons I added, but what happened to the rest of them? OMG, and there is no help in Google on this so its probably an easy answer and I am over thinking it. I installed two add ons tonight, I see them in the add on list when I press Command, Shift A. But, there is no icon in the browser tool bar or nav bar showing those add ons. Why is this so difficult? Never was this difficult in CHROME.

Use the Open menu button (3 horizontal bars) on the right-side in that screenshot.
Use the Customize menu item and inspect Customize palette for the toolbar buttons that you are looking for.

Or perhaps those add-ons don't have an icon / toolbar button.

The names of those add-ons might be helpful for one of us to answer more exactly.

Thank you for your response! I understand what you are saying. And, it did not resolve my question. Attached is the screen shot that opens when I follow your instructions. I do not see any clickable interface to add or edit or drag an "add on" icon into the dotted menu bar at top of screen. Am I missing something? I also attached screen showing two add on items I want to place in the menu bar. I appreciate your time and ideas!
