Logging into a website first to get the proxy login is required before updating extensions. Firefox should detect this and prompt instead of displaying corrupted download message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: [The assumption is that there are out of date extensions and Firefox has previously detected this and you are using a proxy server] Start Firefox (1.5.0.5) Goto Tools, Extensions menu Press one of the "Update Now" buttons for any one of the extensions Error message box appears: "Firefox could not install the file at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/ ... (URL depends on extension) ... because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) Close the extensions dialog Go to a website that prompts for the username/password for your proxy server If this works, then repeat extension upgrade from Tools, Extensions menu, noting that this time the extension can be updated. Therefore the problem is down to Firefox not prompting the user to log into the proxy server.
