Martin Is Missing In My Firefox Browser

Hello
Basically I took my laptop somewhere where I could only use dial up for a few days, so I got some addons - adblocker and such to help things be less slow. When I did that, Martin and the whole load of tabs at the top of the page went missing, there is just a green banner. When I got home, I got rid of the adblocker and stuff, but Martin and the tabs never came back, any ideas what I can do?
Thanks in Advance

You could try reinstalling the add-ons and then making sure you remove any blocking settings you put on. Then you can uninstall them again.
Also look in Tools > Options
Under Content tab, click on Exceptions beside Load Images automatically and see if something has told Firefox to block MSE images.
Failing all that, you could try creating a fresh profile and start from scratch -
Close Firefox completely and wait a min to make sure it's fully closed.
From the start menu, click Run
Type in firefox -p
The profile manager should appear and let you create a new profile.
The profile manager might also be a good idea to use if you're going somewhere with limited broadband in the future - Create a Firefox profile that has all the ad blocking extensions for low bandwidth situations and then you can just switch back to your normal profile when you're home.0
