I used the "Move to the Menu" (right-click the extension icon) option on a few of my extensions. Now, I can't find them. There appears to be an option to add either add a manager icon or ellipses to ...

    Using Edge for MacOS, V. 79.

     

    Problem is that the icon is no longer visible. It's in the "menu", wherever that is hiding.

      Hmm that's weird.
      is it possible that you are using light theme and the extension icon is also light/white?

        I think I found the problem... or at least a solution. Moving an extension "to the Menu" apparently just moves it all the way to the right then adjusts the width of the address bar to hide it. If I move the handle on the right side of the address bar to change its width, it brings the extension icons back into view. 

         

        It seems to be a bit convoluted, but it solves the immediate problem.

         

        We'll see if improvements in extension management happen as Edge for Mac matures.
