I just updated to the latest FF version and I do not see the new Share button that got added. I have the Downloads, Print, Home and some add-on buttons but no Share button.

hello, the share button is part of the social api, so it will only be visible/active once you opt-in to use a social api provider like facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/messenger-for-firefox

The feature becomes active when you Turn On Messenger for Facebook. Here's a Step-by-Step guide that can help you in enabling this feature - How to Enable Built-In Share Button in Firefox 23

Firefox has made it really confusing to enable the feature. They should have included a reminder/popup which will ask users if they would like to enable the feature.
