On the given page, I selected to Upgrade from Enigmail 0.63.3 to 0.73.1 using
the "Express Install". The installation box pops up, but no activity occurs. I
am unable to use the Cancel button or close the installation box in any standard
way. The only way to remove the box is to kill the application. The same
behavior occurred using the "Standard Install" by selecting the "Install" button
Linux/x86 XPI.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download.html
2. Select "Upgrade" or "Install" from the Express Install option
3. Select to install the unsigned xpi files
4. Install box hangs until application is killed.

Actual Results:  
I killed Mozilla and tried several times.

Expected Results:  
Install the 0.73.1 version of Enigmail.

I have never come across this issue after Mozilla 1.3.
