addons not shown or working
I've downloaded and installed and updated Firefox on a new windows 11 PC - and I have a perfectly working installation on my (old) windows 10 Machine, so I'm well used to the browser! I've downloaded, installed and enabled three core, up-to-date addons: IDM, Adaware and Internet downlad helper: however NONE of them show on the toolbar and none of them function. And I've tried (I hope) all internet-search-suggested remedies such as reset Firefox etc. ad nauseam. All without success....

Extensions need permission to run in private windows in private browsing mode.
Thank you. But! One already had permision and was/is not shown; and the other two were given permission - but problem not solved. I use "never remember history" for privacy - my win 10 FF addons work perfectly with the same setting. When I started populating Win 11 there was at one stage a major update - does 2H22 ring a bell? I wasn't paying full attention in that it may have been the cause since FF and addons were pretty well the first application to be installed - and IDM, at least, was working at some stage - I just can't remember whether before or after the update.
Extensions will not appear in the toolbar by default, you need to pin them from the jigsaw puzzle button.
