Just got my laptop reimaged (school policy). First thing to do is download firefox, get it, good. Go to get some addons, and i install them, and firefox restarts but they dont show up on my toolbar, or anywhere. And it does say in the add-ons that they are installed and enabled.
Been through so many help things and nothing solves my problem, reinstalled everything several times.
so yeah. help plox?

as you said on Tools>Add-ons they are showing installed, so did you try to go to "Customize..." (just right click on the toolbar) to add these add-ons to it? (that phrase sounded strange...

)
or it may be a feature of the add-on? actually just guessing coz i dunno what add-on you installed...but like i have a "Download Statusbar" that would only be active when i am downloading something and that status bar is located at the bottom of the window...

McAfee SiteAdvisor. Godly addon. It should be on the toolbar, but it isnt. I went to customize, added a new toolbar, but the icon for it wasnt there, nor anything that was installed.

i was searching siteadvisor over at the firefox addon site...lol..sorry i see you need to download it on the McAfee site...well, i actually have a similar addon installed:
WebOfTrust.
but imma checking the siteadvisor website and it seems the addon toolbar is below on the statusbar...if you dont have the statusbar enabled go to View>Status Bar and make sure its checked...hth^^

well, have you tried to uninstall ffox then just reinstall it again?...dl the latest file first then reinststall the addons. actually, i do get suspicious behaviour from my browser if i get infected by malware, so try to do a virus/spyware scan as well...
