Addons not found
I have Firefox 4 Beta 7 version. There are many addons which are not supported and hence disabled. But a few of them (Power Twitter, FlashGot, DownloadHelper to name a few) are supported, but I don't find them anywhere in the browser, as in the previous versions. I need to get back my addons, plus I need to know where they are. Please help.

Are those extensions enabled in Tools > Addons > Extensions?
No, they have been disabled by the browser itself.
So, Firefox knows you have those extensions are installed, but Firefox has disabled them as being incompatible with 4.0b7?
When you right-click those disabled extensions, can you use the Find Updates menu item?
If that doesn't work, try deleting the compatibility.ini file and the extensions.sqlite file in your Profile folder, when Firefox is closed. That will force Firefox to retrieve fresh data for those files.

Didn't help. :( Ok, btw, where do I find the addons that are supported and enabled, eg., Power Twitter and FlashGot? In the earlier versions, there used to be a gray bar in the bottom with the addons usually on the right corner.
The "gray bar at the bottom" was called the Status bar in earlier versions of Firefox, that has been removed from 4.0b7+ versions, and in its' place is the Add-ons Bar. To enable that bar go to View > Toolbars and click on the Add-ons Bar.
Thank you. :)
But I don't find my Power Twitter, even in the Customize options. Since Echofon isn't working, I need this.
Thanks a lot, that was easy. Now I am going to explore further changes in the wonderful Firefox 4. Ciao
