Same here on Windows 7 x64, Firefox 5.0, Status Bar is shown at the bottom with 
icons for Xmarks and Forecast Fox but no icon for ShowIP. :(

I am also having the same problem.  Running Windows 7 x64.  Was working fine 
until the auto-update of Firefox bumped my up to version 5.

I have the same problem (no IP displayed in status bar). I am running ShowIP v 
1.1 on 32-bit Windows 7 with Firefox 5.0.

I had this problem too with Windows 7 x64 and the auto-update to Firefox 5.  I 
was able to get ShowIP to work by deleting my profiles directory and 
reinstalling my add-ons.  Did not like having to re-configure everything but at 
least it is working now.

Upgrading seems to be difficult. I've code in the plugin which forces it's 
addition to the addon bar upon re-install, but migration is hard.
