When I tried to install Googlebar, adblock and tabbrower preferences, none would
install. i would get the screen that it is an unsigned thing, wait for the
countdown and then would click install now. then nothing happens. i cannot even
open the extension manager under the tool bar. 

i have 1.05 of firefox. 

Reproducible: Always

Can you try to reproduce with a recent trunk build to see if it is fixed in the
current code base?
Reporter: Please see if you can reproduce using this build -

Same problem. Firefox works great, but the extensions don't. 
i uninstalled firefox, and the program folder and cleaned out the registry.
reinstalled with 1.06 and still had the same problem. 

albeit i found ti weird my bookmarks were still there. so there was somethign
that wasn't deleted. 
has anyone found any new ideas for me to solve this, i already reinstalled 1.06

Has anyone made any progress on this bug?  should I remove and reistall firefox
to see if this corrects the problem?  I have just install firefox on my laptop
at work and as of yet have not had any problems with the extension manager. Ken.

Reinstallation does not touch your profile. 
these problem seemed to happen about the time the new flash player came out. Because after that, my adblock wasn't working so i tried to uninstall it, and reinstall it. Thats when i noticed that i could not get the extension manager to work, and installing extension only resulted in the 3,2,1 screen to close out.

the extensions that i had before the error started remained, and continued to update when a new version is out, and the updates take effect and still work.
Most of these are probably bug 264985.
Is this still a problem with the following latest nightly?

no response - resolving -> wfm

if this is still a problem with 1.5 please open a new bug - with the rewrites that have occurred chances are if you experience this symptom it would be for a different reason than with 1.0.x
