How do I reactivate the downloadhelper?

After Mozila so harshly killed the Google Toolbar a lot of my add-ons were killed too. I especially miss the Downloadhelper and that small tool that showed the flags of the country where a server is located. How do I re-activate those add-ons. It wasn't nice to kill the toolbar without offering any help for these kinds of problems.

I don't see DownloadHelper on your extensions list at all. You may need to reinstall: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

Regarding the Google Toolbar, Google stopped supporting its Firefox toolbar many years ago.

Presumably you were using the unofficial Googlebar, last updated in 2011? Someone else recently grabbed that code and fixed it for Firefox 36 -- at least according to the new extension's page. Note: it has not yet been fully reviewed yet:
