Do you see that extension on the Tools > Add-ons > Extensions (about:addons) page?

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

I have some registry problems that I am trying to solve thru cybertechhelp.com. Have to go slow as as I'm not sure I know what I am doing. I did have nosquinte installed with no prolems until I reinstalled Firefox. Hopefully I will get it going sone.
