From chob's description on MozillaZine Forum,
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1629779#1629779 :
"It required TWO clicks of the 'Install Now' button to install an extension. In
both occasions, the counter on the button counts down 2 seconds. I'm sure only
one click should be necessary (after the countdown of course.)"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click a link to install an .xpi 
2.Installing Extension window appears. 
3.Greyed out "Install" button counts down 2 seconds, then ungreys out ready to
be clicked. 
4.After clicking, "Install now" button greys out, counts down 2 seconds again,
then ungreys out


Actual Results:  
After clicking, "Install now" again, the extension installs.



Expected Results:  
Extension should install on first click.

I can confirm this bug on Linux (tarball) version as I get the same while
installing "Nightly Tester Tools" extension for example.

I see this too.

Requesting blocking as I guess this will have an effect on documentation if it
is not fixed. (Mentioning "Install now" must be clicked twice to install an
extension)

Bah, I was picking up internal focus/blur events (when switching between
buttons, for instance)... but the combination of blur/focus events that are
sent is less than appealing... on window blur you only get one blur event,
targeted at the XUL element currently in focus... on window focus you get
*three* focus events, two targeted at the window and one at the internal XUL
element. This works around this rather troublesome anomaly.

Will the patch fix the other issue where if you click on the disabled Install
button when it's counting down the counter resets and stops. Or should I file a
new bug for this?
That's bug 302265, and according to the whiteboard entry for it, yes, this patch
will also fix that problem.

I can confirm this patch does fix the problem on linux.

also, if u click "install now" while its still counting down, it switches to 2.0
and stops. u have to click cancel and try to install it again.

Landed on trunk. I'll land on the branch when I get some branch builds done.

Hmm. Might this have caused the new bug  #304874 with extensions not installing
on the trunk?

I made a branch build today and manually added this patch and extensions don't
work on the branch either for me.
Landed on 1.8 branch.

This bug still occurs, with same behaviour, using the latest nightly of tbird on
osx 10.4.2.

I built tbird from source today, and was *never* able to install an extension.
Clicking "install now" would just restart the countdown every time.

I can confirm this behavior.

The Install Now button ends up in an endless loop, never installing. For both
Firefox and thunderbird on OSX 10.4.2)
please post the build ID's you're seeing this. 

This is fixed on the 1.5 branch for both Firefox and Thunderbird.

I'm not certain that the bug I'm experiencing is the same problem.  What's
happening for me is the infinite loop of the 'Install Now' button, not the click
twice to install problem.  If they are separate then let me know if I need to
file a new bug or if there's another already on this.
