WFM: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 on
Win2k.
However it took a little while before the box (asking for the permission to
install the xpi file) shows up: perhaps is the server busy?

OK, launching Mozilla as root resolve the problem. But it's not a solution. I
cannot surf on the net as root. 

An idée ?

You also can't install those plug-ins as non-root using those XPIs...  I would
have expected a nice error message to that effect, though.
