despite editing preferences and allowing google in three setting sections I cannot install the google toolbar. I have followed the instructions, restarted the browswer even restarted the pc, but it will not install. I keep getting the message bar accross the top asking me to edit preferences. Again, i edit the preferences and allow googlge...back to square one i cannot install the toolbar. I feel compelled to say that i find this version of firefox terrible compared to my previous and was seriously considering returning to internet explorer. I am a member of the spread firefox affiliate programme but there is a waste of time as i never get any reply yo my support questions.I have given that up a sa  bad job. COME ON FIREFOX THINGS ARE GETTINFG WORSE NOT BETTER. i build and sell pc's and I always install fox for my customers. As from today...it aint happening, people are beginijg to think I dont know what im talking about with browsers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download and install google toolbar
2.edit preferences
3.restart browser

Actual Results:  
nothing..same page appears prompting me to edit preferences stating that software installation is disabled

Expected Results:  
an installation of google toolbar 

allowed google to install software

Type about:config into the address bar, look for xpinstall.enabled set it to true. Then try to install the toolbar again. Should you require further assistance, please see the MozillaZine forums (http://forums.mozillazine.org).
