Deerpark (Firefox) 1.6a1 not installing extensions

by lars@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 2, 2006 at 03:09 AM

When I try to install extensions from addon.mozilla.org, I get the 
following error:

	"Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit 
	 Options... to enable it and try again."

Sometimes selecting the 'Edit Options' button which appears on the web 
page brings up the Preferences dialog, sometimes it doesn't.
When it does, I can see that I have the following settings:

	no pop-ups are blocked,
	no warnings about installing extensions or themes
	javascript allowed
	java allowed

But none of that let's me install an extension, and I get the same probelm

with any of the extensions.  How can I work around this or fix it?

If I download the extensioni (as .xpi) manually, and then drag it to the 
opened extension manager window, nothing happens.

Likewise, if I try to open the extension using the File->Open File menu
item, nothing happens.

How can I get Firefox to resume accepting extensions?

I am using:

 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) 
 Gecko/20060201 Firefox/1.6a1
