The recent upgrades did not resolve the problem, so I did some digging in the forums and found no solutions that were useful. However, I did stumble across a clue that helped solve the problem. On the machine that was displaying the statusbar icon, I dragged the icon to the left of the statusbar and then back to the right.
Checking about:config showed that a new adblock variable/preference name was suddenly set. I created the preference and its value over to the other machine, restarted the browser, and cheered as the icon was visible.
So, here is what you need to do.
- Type about:config in the address bar and hit <return>
- Make sure your preference is already set to "Icon"
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select New -> String
- For the preference name, enter adblock.statusdrop
- For the value, I used adblock-icon,foxytunes-statusbar-panel,statusbar-progresspanel,statusbar-display,colorzilla-statusbar-panel
- Close every browser window and restart the browser
Note: 0.5.11 was not out at the time that I performed this fix; this fix was done on 0.5.10.X
Hope others find this useful.
Cheers.
