User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7pre) Gecko/2009020506 GranParadiso/3.0.7pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Today's AMO version (09:00 CET) If you disable third-party cookies you cannot install experimental (sandbox) add-ons anymore. A login-page is downloaded instead, which causes add-on installation to fail (Firefox error box Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) -261) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Login to Firefox Add-ons 1. Disable third-party cookies (in Firefox preferences you can do it by unchecking the "Accept third-party cookies" button in the Privacy pane) 2. Go to a sandbox-ed addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10573 3. Click on the "Add to Firefox" button link. 4. Click on install now once it it available Actual Results: A Firefox error message: Gran Paradiso could not install the file at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/46316/international_sideboard-1.1-fx.xpi because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) -261 Expected Results: Installed add-on If you right click on "Add to Firefox" and choose "Save link as" you will download a file called "login" that is a standard html login page, not the xpi. Enable third-party cookies to install the add-on. This is weird because the full download link is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/46316/international_sideboard-1.1-fx.xpi which is on the same domain, so third-party cookies should be sent by Firefox anyway...
