Firefox is not displaying icons for my add-ons in the toolbar -- HTTPS
Everywhere, NoScript, and Privacy Badger.  I am unable to configure the
extensions without their icons (?).


Firefox on Debian 9 correctly displays icons for add-ons:

I tried customizing the toolbar, but the add-on icons are not available.


I tried deleting compatibility.ini, extension-preferences.json, and
extensions.json as recommended by FredMcD, but the icons are still missing:

Suggestions?

Hi David,

do you have reasons to use Firefox ESR?

I have been using Mozilla's builds for Forefox and I have been happy
with them. On the other hand, builds form Linux distributions lack of
support for non-free parts of Firefox like DRM and these builds don't
allow users to watch protected content like video and video streams.

So my advice is - use the builds from Mozilla.org, it seems that you use
AMD64 architecture which is supported architecture by Mozilla.org

Kind regards
Georgi


That is a possibility, and I have done it in the past.


I am currently evaluating Brave:
