Some add-ons are missing in the tools menu and / or modules and navigation bar
I am running Firefox 20 FRENCH (this is maybe important as all of this below does not appear with the EN version...) on MacOSX 10.6.8.
Symptoms : - Web Developer toolbar not displayed anymore. - Xmarks add-ons not displayed in the module bar. - Icons of other add-ons displayed in the navigation bar ONLY after the first firefox opening i.e. just after system restart. If firefox is closed and re-opened, all the add-ons icons are lost.
> All the add-ons are installed in tha add-on menu. > This behavior only appear with the FRENCH versions of firefox (tried 19.0.2 and 20). > Installed the 19.0.2 ENGLISH version and all is OK !!!
Fixes attempts (tried almost everything...) : - Reset firefox profile and restart with a new one : no effect (after I have reinstalled all the add-ons one by one...) - Uninstall Firefox (with profiles folder, cache folders, etc...) then reinstall : no effect - The only thing that is working is using the ENGLISH version...
This is really annoying because as a web developer I really need the Web Developer extension. Does anyone has an idea of how to fix this ?
Thank you very much for your help ! Regards,

Dear iamjayakumars,
Thank you for your contribution but I had already checked and all my add-ons are listed using the about:addons command.
In the meantime I have found this link for Web Developer. Just have to wait for an update...
Thank you again.

Check the installed addons are showing in the Addons
Type about:addons in Addressbar
- check the installed addons in Extensions

Thank you again.
Does it have any effect if you change the general.useragent.locale pref to en-US ?
YES ! this also solve the problem... thank you !
Note that this will effect other extensions and themes as well (you force a different locale), so restore this pref to the default as soon as the Web Developer toolbar gets an update that fixes this.
