Whenever I try and download an extension it says 

"Download Error can not download extension from XXX . Download Error". I can
right click and save the extension then manually install it locally. I tried
going to update.mozilla.org and extension homepage. I tried several extensions.

This is the one from the screenshot : http://www.quirk.co.za/searchstatus/

My internet connection works.

What is size of your cache (Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache)? Is it >0 ?

Comment 5

[Jeremy Rempel]

Yes my cache is 0.

Comment 6

[Jeremy Rempel]

Ok. Set cache to 0 cant install extensions. Set to 5000 they work. Thats not as
serious of a problem then but still a problem.

Possible solutions :
- fix it so it can download extensions and store someplace other than cache
- add a msg to download error box suggesting they increase the size of their cache
