I just updated to TBB 9.0.2 Linux & saw what I guess mimble9 saw -
missing toolbar icons for NoScript.
I'm not sure I can recall the exact way I got the icon back.
Note: after TBB 9.0.2 update, the icons for HTTPS Everywhere & NoScript
were missing in addons manager screen.
Starting TBB in safe mode (w/o addons);
also disabling any addons, then restart normally, then enable addons &
another normal restart.
I believe those were the steps that made addon toolbar icon reappear,
but I'm not positive of the order.
Just disabling addon, restarting TBB & re-enabling addons didn't work
for me.
I assume this is a bug in TBB 9.0.2 installer, as I've not had this
issue in a long time, if ever.

I am using the latest version of TBB and for a while now I've noticed that
NoScript no longer appears on the TBB interface. I've got two icons for
"security level" and "new identity" but that's it. No NoScript.
Sometimes NoScript toolbar / navbar icon is on the far left end - you
can move it in "customize mode."
Sometimes it's in the extra icons - shown when you open customize mode.
It could be under the "hidden icons" (the 2 chevrons, pointing right).
If those don't work, try removing the addon & reinstalling.
When I check in Add-Ons I see NoScript (and HTTPS-Everywhere). Checking
the "Preferences" for NoScript reveals that, in "Default" mode, everything
- script, object, media, webgl, etc - is ticked under "allow" (i.e. is
on). I remember one used to have to allow these for all new sites.
Why the change? Why are the NoScript defaults allowing scripts and media
as standard?
Scripts were always allowed. Maybe not WebGl. The official reason, way
back (I believe) was many sites wouldn't work & new users or less
concerned users might stop using TBB. Another statement was the more
users alter anything in TBB, the more different they look.
It is true that other changes have been made in Firefox esr / TBB
version that counter act other settings.
