Firefox video download helper icon missing

Video download helper is installed but icon is missing from toolbar and cannot be found where I'm told to look when I google the problem (i.e., view/toolbars/customize). Nor can I drag it to the toolbar from where I find it when I look under triple bar/addons and themes in the upper right corner of the toolbar. Where else should I look to find it?

Firefox 109 comes with the Extensions button as the new way to manage your extensions. The Extensions button (puzzle piece icon) drop-down serves as overflow area for extensions you install, the legacy chevron (>>) overflow area still exists but is only used for built-in toolbar buttons as found in the Customize palette. You can click the gear icon next to an extension or use the right-click context menu to pin the extension to the toolbar (Pin to Toolbar). To (re)move the extension from the toolbar back to the Extensions button drop-down, you can use "Unpin from Toolbar" in the right-click context menu.

Thank you for the response. However, this doesn't seem to work for Firefox 113.0.2, which is the only version that I seem to be able to download. It's what I get even if I ask for version 109. In 113, I can find video downloadhelper using the extensions button, but there is no gear icon with it, nor do I get an option to pin the extension to the toolbar when I right click on the context menu.
