This sounds more like it should go in the support forums (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38) than be filed as a bug. Please start a thread there asking for help, and be as descriptive as possible.

Marking INVALID because of that and because I don't really see a bug here. Reporter: please reopen if you feel that I am incorrect.

Type about:config into the address bar and filter to xpinstall.enabled and set it to true.

-> Verified.
