The Downloadhelper icon does not appear.

Question

Hello,
I have been using Mozilla Firefox for quite some time and I had installed Downloadhelper. It was working very well, but for some time now the icon that is supposed to spin when the software detects a file has disappeared.
When I click on Options of Downloadhelper ( Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Downloadhelper (4.0) > Options ), the "Add-ons" window doesn't respond at all, and no other options window appears.
I checked if I could make the icon reappear with the toolbar, but it is not there.
I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5, Downloadhelper 4.0.

Thanks in advance =)

Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.0.5

I had the same problem as you, and it was resolved very simply! Here’s how to do it:
- Make sure Downloadhelper is properly installed
- On a webpage with Firefox, go to View > Toolbars > Customize.
- Scroll down in the window that appears until you find the Downloadhelper icon.
- Drag the icon to the Firefox toolbar with your mouse.

And there you go! Everything should be sorted out.
Apparently, it's common for the icon to disappear during an update of the add-on or Firefox itself.
If this technique doesn't work, then I don't know where the problem comes from.

hello  I have almost the same problem as you. Except that for me it says "will be installed on the restart of Firefox" but even after that it doesn't show up!  Keep me posted if you have any news.

-moi aussi j'ai le même problème que vous. L'icône n'apparaît nulle part. J'ai installé, désinstallé, réinstallé, rien n'y fait.

In fact, the solution is to uninstall everything, including the Mozilla Firefox folders that are in the Appdata folder (hidden folder), and to reinstall everything. There you go.
