See the attached picture that you should find in Tools/Add-ons/Extensions.

Or, drag the xpi file you downloaded and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions.

Is ImportExportTools installed in Tools/Add-ons/Extensions?

I have downloaded the ImportExportTool link and saved it to my Download folder. Trying to follow the instructions, there is no tiny button to the left of the search window to access the "Install Add-on From File" option.
