Can't re-install download helper

Video download helper was uninstalled while my computer was being worked on. I re-installed it but now I don't have the download helper icon that you put on the toolbar. It is not on my toolbar nor in the toolbars option folder.

How can I get the download icon to put on my toolbar so that it will work?

Thanks, Diane

I think in some other threads it was discovered that some extensions interfere with other extensions adding their icons to the toolbar. If you have other extensions which are not essential and you could live without them for 24 hours, try disabling them here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Any difference?
