There is an issue with Firefox 7 for Mobile that may have caused some or all of your add-ons to be hidden. We are preparing an update to Firefox that will fix this and restore any hidden add-ons. Until that update is available, you can restore your add-ons with the simple workaround below.

We know how important add-ons are to you and apologize for the inconvenience.

Install the Add-on Recovery Tool

Warning: This tool only works after you have updated to Firefox 7.
  1. Go to the Add-on Recovery Tool page on addons.mozilla.org.
  2. Tap the green + Add to Firefox button and this special tool will begin to download.

    Add-on recover - Mobile1
  3. Tap Install in the confirmation screen that comes up.

    The image "Add-on recover - Mobile2" does not exist.
  4. After the Add-on Recovery Tool is installed, tap Restart to complete the process. Firefox will restart and your add-ons will be restored.
