If you know you have a plugin installed in Firefox...How do you open it? In this case, I installed Mobile Barcoder and I don't know how to activate it! There are way too many arrows and dropdown boxes in Firefox that they make things so confusing! Can someone please help me??

Thanks,

Go WF!

    The problem is this is supposed to tell you if someone has a mobile site. BUT I don't know how to activate it. Showing the options is useless if there is no way to activate it after

    If you've downloaded the plugin and installed it then it should automatically ask you for restarting firefox. If you've not installed the plugin then just download the plugin and double click to install. Many a times the plugin would not be compatible to the version of firefox you are using and hence may not install. You may have to upgrade / downgrade Firefox accordingly Or go for a portable lower/higher version of firefox. You can check the installed plugins by going to Tools--->Add-ons--->Plugins

    Sometimes icons does not get installed on the toolbar (for some reason), so you have to do it manually.

    Right click on the toolbar, and a context menu will pop up. Scroll down to "Customize" and click it. A window will open with a bunch of icons that are potential buttons for the toolbar. Scroll through that and see if the one you need is in there. If it is, simply drag it to where you want it on your toolbar.
