Firefox 132.0.1 (64-bit); Fedora-40; Gnome. I just added the "authenticator" extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auth-helper/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search). I would like its icon to appear in the toolbar, along with those for NoScript, Simple Translate, and others. I tried following the instructions on this page: "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-button". But clicking the "gear" icon in the toolbar brings up a list of all installed extensions, and there is no "gear" icon next to any of them.

How do I add the "authenticator" extension's icon to my toolbar where the other extension icons are?

You need to click the puzzle piece Extensions button to bring up a ;list of extensions that aren't pinned but can possibly be pinned.

Is the extension enabled? Are you using Private Browsing mode?

That's what I was doing.

Is the extension enabled?

Yes.

Are you using Private Browsing mode?

I was, but I didn't realize it. The extension was not enabled for private browsing mode.

Enabling the extension for private browsing mode was the fix.

Thank-you!
