You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ , -search for and locate the add-on, -open the page for that add-on, -review the information there, -then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page. Most questions can be answered in one of those places.

ABP: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.

NoScript For the toolbar: scroll down on the following to the paragraph in the first section beginning with "A set of toolbar buttons is also provided:" and read that section: http://noscript.net/features#basics . It gives instructions on using the Customize Toolbar function to place the icon on your toolbar. Also see: Back and forward or other toolbar buttons are missing Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars How to customize the toolbar For the Status Bar: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on NoScript, click Options, click Advanced tab, check your preferences; see 4th image on: http://noscript.net/screenshots

IE Tab 2: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on IE Tab 2, look under "Image Gallery", 3rd row, 1st image: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ . Unfortunately, this developer has moved his home page and not updated the add-ons page. I use IE Tab Plus (formerly Coral IE Tab).

Hey thanks for trying to help out TXGuy, but I've been using Firefox for years. All good information, but I've got all that covered. My next step would been to check through the about:config but being a fresh install I can't see that being useful.

None of this stuff shows up in the GUI anywhere. Something is really wrong. I even tryed an uninstall/reinstall, no go. I've never seen this happen before, or heard of it, and I'm stumped. That's why I'm here seeking assistance.

Thanks so much!
