Why won't my StumbleUpon toolbar show up in Firefox?
The weirdest part, to me at least, is that sometimes (very rarely), when I open Firefox, my stumbleupon toolbar is there! It works perfectly, and then disappears again the next time I open firefox.
I have windows vista, if it matters. Please help!

"This happens to me every so often. If you are using Firefox this is the way I fix it. A manifest will embed itself in your firefox folder for reasons I don’t know. But go to C:/program files/mozilla firefox/chrome if you see a file called m3ffxtbr.manifest go ahead and delete it. It does no damage to the functionality of firefox and completely restores your stumble toolbar"
m3ffxtbr.manifest is apparently an installer for MyWebSearch toolbar for Firefox, and seems to cause a lot of problems with different addons.
If it still doesn't show, or that file isn't there, uninstall all addons, then reinstall SU, making sure you use the latest addon at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/138?id=138

firefox.exe -p -no-remote
and create a new "test" profile.
Install the stumbleupon addon there. If this works, then your old profile settings are corrupted in some way and you need to eliminate all occurences of stumbleupon before making it work again.

No, it still doesn't work. I've tried reinstalling countless time.
I have the most current versions of each.
can you please tell me which version you are using?
Also try cickin on: CTRL + F11
If neither works, i found this in a website:
"My solution to the disapearing toolbar
A thought struck me, I had an idea that I could use the about:config thing in Firefox to manaully change the position of the toolbar. So I went in, used the about:config filter to find the StumbleUpon prefs, changed stumble.toolbar-position from stumbleupon to address, restarted Firefox, and there it was. I checked about:config and it looks like StumbleUpon set the location back to stumbleupon upon reboot fixing the whole problem."
if you have tried all the above methods, especially the about::config one, please degrade to ff3 and not the next version, it sometimes causes some problems with the toolbar.
Tools > Add-ons > Stumbleupon > Appearance > More position options > Stumbleupon toolbar > okay
A stumble button should appear next to the URL field of your browser.
Click it.
Boom, there's your toolbar.

Do you have it disabled? I'd go to Tools --> Add-ons, scroll down to StumbleUpon, and make sure it's enabled. You'll know if there's a button that says "Disable". If it's enabled, click on Options, and in the Appearance tab, under More postion options, click on StumbleUpon Toolbar.
HOPEFULLY one of those things will work. I hope that helps!!
I said in my question that it doesn't show up in the view>toolbars section at all, even though it IS installed.
Yes, it's enabled but when I click on options, it tells me to create a stumbleupon profile (I already have). :/
I appreciate your help though.
God, that is so annoying!! I hope you find a solution! The only thing I can think of if none of what I just said worked is, actually go ahead and create yet another profile to an email address that forwards to your current one. Or maybe delete your old profile and start over, as much as that sucks to do .
I'll post again if I think of anything.

Hey demanda, i was having the EXACT same problem as you are where it wouldnt even give you the option to view SU toolbar. After much search, i found that by upgrading to Skype 4.0, it adds a skype extension for firefox. This should be visible in Downloads>Add-Ons. After I uninstalled this, my SU toolabr immediately appeared. Uninstalling the skype extension also got rid of other issues i was having with other add-ons. seems Skype is the culprit. Hope this works for you as well
Hey demanda, i was having this exact same problem. If you havn't been able to fix this yet, i hope this helps. I started having this problem after i updated to skype 4.0. It adds an extension for friefox, which you should be able to see in your list of add-ons. Delete/uninstall this skype extension, it should solve all your problems....good luck

One more thing, when you uninstall Firefox, are you selecting "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations"? If not, it might be keeping some files that are causing a problem with the installation or setup of the plugin. Bear in mind, though, you would have to set it all back up like from scratch. If that is OK, I would even make sure to delete the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" (which I guess is just C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox in 32-bit Vista).
What version of Vista (32 or 64 bit), Firefox (3.0.5?), and StumbleUpon addon (3.28?)?
Also, did it prompt you to sign in or create a new profile when you installed it?
:( sadly, it's still not working
Awesome! Now I'll have to go check out this StumbleUpon addonI installed... :)
