Hi,

when trying to install an extension, either from a site or from an .xpi file on
the computer hard disk, the first window asking me if I want to install / let
the site install an extension appear.

Once I agree to install the extension, the extension manager window open.
The window is always empty, the extension doesn't install, neither in the
extension manager window nor on the hard disk.

The problem is the same for the Theme manager.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to a site giving extensions
2.click on install extension
3.agree to install the extension (download and install)

Actual Results:  
the extension window open
nothing more happen

Expected Results:  
Nothing

I haven't notice when this problem started but I had not trouble previously with
FF 1.0.3.
I unistall FF1.0.4 and the Ff profile, launch the 1.0.3 and I now have also
trouble with this version. I install again 1.0.4 and still have trouble with it.
