How are you installing them?
Works for me.

STR Used:

1. Set xpinstall.enabled = false (if the pref is not existing, create it)
2. Go to addons.mozilla.org and select an addon that you want to install (in Tools->Add-ons add-ons section will not be displayed as long pref is set to false)
3. Try to install the addon selected in step 2
4. A pop-up will be displayed saying that Software instalation is currently disabled. Click to enable.

Tested  on Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 13.04 x86 using latest nightly 26. BuildID:20130827030201

I'm not sure he used this way to install the add-on, but likely the file mozilla.cfg.

Hi, i'm sending my firefox.cfg

lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:home");
lockPref("browser.startup.page", 1);
lockPref("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", true);
lockPref("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", false);
lockPref("browser.download.manger.retention", 1);
lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
lockPref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
lockPref("signon.prefillForms", false);
lockPref("plugin.default_plugin_disabled", false);
lockPref("plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin", true);
lockPref("plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin", true);
lockPref("pdfjs.disabled", false);
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled",false);

To install the addon without message, i did this:

tools  --> add-ons --> i  then searched for an addon. When you try to install it, there is no error message.
