How can I convert Internet files to Adobe pdfs from Firefox (IE has it on the tool bar)?

I just switched to Firefo from IE. IE had an Adobe tool bar that allowed me to quickly convert internet screens to pdfs. Is there a Firefox add-on or tool that is comparable?

Yes probably more than one. Sometimes such addons have been temperamental when I have tried them

Do you have Acrobat XI or later? I don't think the add-on from Acrobat X or earlier works in Firefox any more.

To check whether the Create PDF extension is enabled, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, look for "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 2.0". Make sure to check the lower part of the page with a gray background where the disabled extensions are listed.

Can you find and enable it? If a link appears above the extension to restart Firefox, it should be enabled after that.

If it is already enabled but not on the toolbar, you could check whether its button is available among the unused icons in Customize mode. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
