Same for me [20040606 Installer/Branch]

This is reported with Thunderbird 20040605 [Aviary] too
As I understand it, the reporter of bug 245324 had the wanted message box saying
Firefox won't install the extension. So this might be a regression. I'm can't
tell the exact date, though.

For me, installation doesn't succeed, the extension's description still saying
"This item will be installed after a restart", or whatever, even after a restart.

Confirming on:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+

On the 2004-06-02 build there was a slightly unclear warning box (see Bug
245324), now nothing other than the permanent "restart to install" text in the
EM as described in comment 2.

Confirmed.

Windows XP
Firefox 0.9
