I couldn't install from the search-results page, either, actually; clicking on the button on https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=oneriot&cat=all throws up the same error -- looks like just a 404, so I don't think the file exists.

As discussed, the files on preview are very old and out of date.  404s are not uncommon.
