Zotero icon does not show up in Firefox toolbar
Hi. I just installed the Zotero extension on the latest version of Firefox on my Mac OS Mojave.
I a trying to customise the toolbar and place the Z icon on toolbar so I can easily save links. Strangely, I am unable to see the Z icon in the customise toolbar options.
The extension is enabled and everything seems to be fine.
How can I get the Z icon so I can actually start saving links?
Thanks.

I had deleted the FF profile some time ago, and have recently re-installed it. Maybe, that' the cause of these issues.
But for now, I am able to save links.
I recently moved to a new M1 MacBook Pro, and cannot now see the connector button on Firefox after fresh installs of both it and Zotero. I have tried everything in the above link. The connector is visible in Firefox.
Any ideas anyone?
Trying to add the Zotero icon to the menu bar in a new profile did not resolve it. The issue seems to be specific to Firefox, running 114.0.1 (64-bit), as I am not having this issue using the built-in Zotero connector in Safari. (MacBookPro late 2019 using Ventura 13.4).
The Zotero Connector is a standard Firefox extension. We have no control over how Firefox handles it, but it will work like every other extension.
If you're still having trouble after updating Firefox and trying in a new profile, make a screen recording of what you're doing and where you're looking, upload it somewhere (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), and either provide a link here or email it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread.
Safari has a more limited extension framework and a less-featureful Zotero Connector because of it, so you wouldn't want to switch to that if you're not already using Safari for other reasons.
I appreciate your vigilance and recognize that this is Firefox not Zotero.
This is a corporate (university) laptop which is quite heavily locked down in some ways, and this is the only one of my Firefox extensions that has to be installed from a third party website rather than within Firefox.
Now if that were disallowed by policy I'd have expected to get a message telling me so, rather than to have the extension install and not quite work.... but perhaps it's a useful data point?
