Add-on menu item not added

Applies to: Firefox 33.0 and 34.0 (beta) Platform: Android 4.4.4 on Nexus 5 32 GB

When I install an add-on that should add an item to the Firefox menu such as Quitnow or LastPass, the new menu item does not show up. With LastPass, that breaks the add-on entirely since you can't log into the service. With Quitnow, the add-on is rendered similarly useless.

I have tried clearing app cache/data, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and doing a factory reset on the phone. Results were always the same. No other add-ons were installed.

Is there a method to get these sorts of add-ons to install correctly?

the Quit now app not updated to latest so its not wokring properly in latest updates of firefox 

if you have changed your Android Settings -> Developer Options -> Don't keep Activities to be "checked" or true.

but on Android 4 and higher you can close Firefox with the app switcher.

The issue isn't that I can't close Firefox. I know that can be accomplished other ways, as you stated. The issue is that add-ons such as the ones listed that SHOULD be able to add menu items aren't installing properly/completely. Thus, the LastPass add-on is entirely broken because I can't log in and set it up as this is done via selecting a menu item that isn't there.

I only brought up the QuitNow add-on because it's another add-on that should add a menu item, but doesn't. Thus it seems to be a general problem with installing FireFox add-ons and not limited to just one add-on.

There are no Developer Options enabled. I installed Firefox and the extension on a freshly reset phone using the factory image from Google and had the same issue.
