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.
