merge windows extension does not appear in extension bar

Post by noahwallach »

I am running firefox 100.0 on OSX 12.3.1

I installed the merge windows extension and activated it. There is a green check box next to text "Access browser tests". I am unable to see the merge windows icon in the upper right extensions bar. I am not sure why. Any information on how to troubleshoot this? I cant seem to be able to find the extensions icon.

Here are some screenshots to provide the visual details:

Anybody know how to get the merge windows extension icon visible in the icon menu section please?

Hi,
I've never used this extension & it's always best to contact the author.

See if he can help..if no-one knows the remedy.

The addon doesn't have the browser_action key in the manifest.json file so there is no button.

The weird thing is I can see the merge windows icon on a FF v100.0 running on another mac just fine.

Okay, I installed the Merge Windows addon.

I don't see a button to the left of the hamburger button on the navigation toolbar.

I see a context menu item with more than one window open.
