Extensions wont show up

Firefox 69.0.1, Win 10, 64bit. I can "download" extensions (in the sense that they show up as downloaded in my add-ons.) but they aren't running, nor can I see their icons in any toolbar, or the navigation bar. I have tried a few of the fixes on the forum, but none have worked.

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

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Linux: Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Directory. To its right press the button Open Directory.

Delete all extensions* files and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

Hello azazelblackraven,

Probably a rhetorical question, but do those few fixes include going to the 3-bar menu => Customize and see if the icons are there ? And if they are : drag them to the toolbar  ?

Yes, that was rhetorical. But thanks for the thought.
