Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on Fire trunk builds:
Windows 2005-05-09-07-trunk
Mac 2005-05-09-07-trunk

1- Go to Tools | Extensions to bring up the Extension Manager.
2- Click the "Get More Extensions" link which should open another browser window
to UMO.
3- Click on one of the popular Firefox extension links (eg, Adblock,
ForecastFox, etc.) to load the extension page.
4- In the extension page, click the Install Now link to install the extension.

tested results:
a file picker dialog appears asking to save or open the file

expected results:
At step 4 you should get the software installation warning dialog, and after 2
seconds the Install Now button there should become active

I just noticed the changes at UMO. This bug is probably due to the changes
they've made due to some security risks from other bugs.

This was intentional, as far as I know. -> INVALID?
