Go to View - Toolbars
And then select "Add-on Bar". Something very much like the statusbar should show up with the icon.

// In all beta version, TestPilot is no longer on status bar, but shown on the toolbar as "Feedback". 

The "Options" is no longer attached on the TP icon, but added into the study panel as a new tab "settings".

But i don't need an unnecessary button in toolbar. I need only item "TestPilot options" in menu or working button "Options" in addons list.

Hi Alexandr,
In v1.2 we're moving to a new UI design that doesn't rely on the status-bar/addon-bar icon.  Work on that change is being tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593949

Until then, you can show the Add-On bar as Wes described.

Or you can go to the Tools menu, pick Test Pilot -> All Your Studies, and then click the "Settings" tab in the dialog box that comes up.

I know what is add-ons bar. There is no TP icon on it.

Thanks, i found "Feedback" in Tools menu. Why you still pointing me to Tools->TestPilot? It was very hard to say that TP is renamed? I think you don't need any feedback, you don't listen to users.

Alexandr:  I misunderstood your question.  I'm sorry.

Here's a more full explanation.  The extension looks at your update channel setting (the app.update.channel) pref and uses that to decide whether to show the Feedback UI or the Test Pilot UI.  The intent is to show the Feedback UI to people on the Firefox 4 beta and show the Test Pilot UI to everybody else (including Firefox 4 final users).  Because you were talking about "Test Pilot" and not "Feedback" i was assuming that you were seeing the "Test Pilot" UI so I described that one.

If you have the Feedback UI, the way to get to options is to pick "All your user studies" and then click the Settings tab in the dialog box.

The actual bug here is that there is no "options" button in the add-ons manager.  There's no reason not to add one, it will help users who are used to changing options that way get to the test pilot options.

I'm reopening the bug and changing the name to reflect the desired action i.e. add options button to addons manager.

Alexandr, sorry the rest of us got caught in that silly back-and-forth instead of just addressing the actual problem.
