Don't install an extension directly, but download it.
Clicking or double clicking on downloaded file (*.xpi) opens dialog, that file cannot be opened, is not asociated.
Analogous for *.jar.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.download an extension (*.xpi)or theme (*.jar)
2.(double)click on it in download manager
Actual Results:
dialog "What to do with XPI files?"
Expected Results:
Offer to install the extension.
Firefox should associate the *.xpi and *.jar file extension during installation. Probably optionally.
Download extensions (*.xpi) could be installed using built-in file browsing
(file://C:/.../*.xpi).
But themes (*.jar) COULD NOT be installed off-line! Or I did not found an easy way how to do it.

Any site that provides FireFox extension, e.g.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
right on the install button and choose save link as.
I need to install same extensions to install on more computers, so I prefer to download them first and than install.

Drag them into the add-ons manager window to install, or on non-firefox use the install button there.
