When I try to update FlashGot (after receiving the appropriate message)the
Firefox updater window opens, it seems working but I see no results, even if I
let it open for hours.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the green arrow (right top corner)
2.Click to find updates
3.You see the updates, you click, updater's window opens

Actual Results:  
No results whatsoever.

Expected Results:  
There is the wheel that turns but there is no progress

After a few hours of trying I simply click on the (x) to close the updater's
window, but I still have the green arrow (right top corner) and after a few days
I get the message that new updates are ready to install.

I'm very sure this is caused by unchecking allow web sites to install software
which is bug 288054.
