Chosen solution

Not all add-ons require a restart, so it may not show up. Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a restart add-on. I use Restartless Restart.

To restart Firefox, just simply close it by clicking the X on the top right corner, then re-opening it. Also, if you installed add-ons or extensions, there should be a message saying Restart Firefox after you installed them


Please update Firefox to version 27. That is Mozilla's latest release. Download Firefox 27
