Many Thanks   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.i entered the add-ons web site
2.i type the name of the add on in the search box
3.i pressed the download the add-on anyway button (because it mentioned that it is not updated yet for my version of firefox) then the error message appeared  

Actual Results:  
the error message appeared and of course i was not able to download the add-on

Expected Results:  
as usual in the previous 3.6 firefox , it would begin the installation and then finishes and required a restart then after the restart i would work.

Firefox 4 is very different from 3.x in many ways and thus addons need to be updated to support the new application version. Individual addon developers will need to update their addons. Nobody here can do it for them. It'll take time; only a few do it early, so you'll have to be patient.

Please report issues about non-Mozilla addons to their individual developers.
