when I click on the "install now" link a warning pops up saying "software installation is currently disabled. Click EDIT OPTIONS...to enable it and try again." However there's no option anywhere in the options to turn the installation on so I can install the theme. I've looked through all of the options, and added mozilla.org to the exceptions in the various options, and still nothing. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on link to download extension
2.Click on "Edit Options" in warning message
3.repeat

Actual Results:  
same thing every time

Expected Results:  
umm...see description

Originally had Noia xtreme odler version installed when I installed update. Uninstalled and switched to default theme...then this bug happened. I will try re-installing firefox to see if it fixed problem

Life could be worse...I love firefox!
