After installing RP, we automatically add the RP toolbar button to the add-on bar and make sure the add-on bar is displayed. At the time of making this change (Fx 4), the word on the street was that Fx was supposed to notice that a new button was added to the add-on bar and after the next restart the add-on bar would be displayed again. However, the add-on bar is actually not being displayed after restart so users have to figure out how to manually enable it.

This is at least applicable to installing RP on a clean Fx installation. It also applies to cases where the user doesn't have the add-on bar enabled before isntalling RP.

What we need to do is to make sure the add-on bar is displayed after restart.
