Hi, an add-on may have gone into the 3-bar menu, if so, you can drag it to a toolbar as shown here - Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

You can also look in the Add-ons Manager > Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+A).

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

It is possible that there is a problem with files in the profile folder that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this didn't help then delete addons.json and possibly prefs.js in case there is a problem with preferences.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
