Since the update, my "add this" add-on is gone, how do I get it back? I used it all the time, I am very technically challenged and it was so easy to use!
Since the latest Firefox update, my "add this" add-on is gone, and I can't find it, how do I get it back? I am not tech-savvy at all. I used it all the time, it was so easy, can someone help me find it? Is it discontinued?

Is this something you really want on your computer and in your life ...
Could you pull up the full information for the add-on as follows:
Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
- (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
- type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
Scroll down to the section with the Extensions heading. Using your mouse, select the whole table that follows that -- copy using either Ctrl+c or right-click > Copy -- and paste it into a reply.
It may look a bit messy, but we're used to it.
