Although I have many add-ons, only one shows on my add-on bar (Adblock Plus). I am using Firefox 18.0.1.
The following are two ways I have tried to fix the issue, but to no avail, unfortunately:
Deleted files from my profile folder as stated on a mozilla support website, and restarted firefox.
Using Revo Unistaller did a deep uninstall (not only removes all firefox program files but also registry entries, user pref. etc), rebooted machine. Downloaded and installed 18.0.1 from Mozilla and re-added all add-ons that I primarily use. I also tried using classic compact theme, but reverted back to default to try and solve this problem.

Not all extension place buttons on a toolbar.
Some extensions add entries to the main menu and others to the right-click context menu that are shown when it applies to the situation.
Which extensions are you referring to that do not show up?

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
- From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select Add-ons, or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the Tools menu and click Add-ons.
- Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
- You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
- To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
- Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the Restart now link in the message.

Hi,
Thanks for trying but unfortunately removing the add-ons is not the problem. Neither is installing them. My problem is that once installed they do not show up on my add-on bar. The only way i even know that the add-ons have been installed is to click on Tools in the Firefox menu bar and then click on add-ons. It shows me a list of Add-ons - Extensions, for which i can only click either the "options", "disable", or "remove" buttons.
Thanks
Bump...

Thanks cor-el!
I created a screen shot of my addons/extensions, deleted my localstore.rdf then reinstalled addons and wella! Sad thing is, I should've known this. I've worked in the systems field for a long time. I'll just go with the excuse that my specialty is hardware... ;)
Thanks again,
Alison
