How can I use my addons once they're installed? Where do I go? Is there a Firefox toolbar?

I'm on a Mac. I installed MeasureIt and RankChecker as addons. I need to install a couple more. How do I use an addon once I have it? Do they show up in a toolbar somewhere? I don't see them in the Google toolbar for Firefox, or above the Google toolbar. Right now, all I see above the Google toolbar is the Delicious icon. Thank you for your help.

You can check the home page for the add-ons to see how they are used, for example MeasureIt adds an icon to the status bar or toolbar - http://www.kevinfreitas.net/extensions/measureit/

If the icon is not in the toolbar, you can customize the toolbar to add it, see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

The Rank Checker, if it is this add-on, adds an entry to the status bar. If the status bar is not visible, in the View menu click on "Status Bar" to display it.
