The Using the Browser Extension section of the user guide and the corresponding section of the Getting Started Guide both start with:

The KeePassXC-Browser extension lets you automatically populate the entries from your KeePassXC database into the fields on websites you visit. To do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Open your KeePassXC desktop application and unlock your database.
  2. Open your web browser. The KeePassXC-Browser extension icon in your browser window will change based on its connection state. The figure below shows the different states.

Steps 2 / 3 assume that the extension's icon displays, which is not necessarily the case. At least in any recent version of Firefox and Google Chrome, only the browser's extensions icon (puzzle piece) shows. Until the user pins it to the toolbar, it does not show there.

We have received a couple bug reports on this issue. Firefox UX improving backwards.

I use few extensions and even fewer for which displaying an icon makes sense, so for me, displaying 1 icon to hide at best 2 is a far from great... I don't disagree with your opinion, but this affects both Chromium and Firefox, and it would be very hard to get both to rollback such a change.
