Strange, this suggests there is something wrong with the web install listener component. Does the file components/amWebInstallListener.js exist in the omni.jar file in your install? Do you have any extensions installed that might be trying to take over extension installs?

As a workaround, try opening the containing folder (typing e.g. file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/kinger/extensions/ — notice the forward-slashes and percent-escapes — in the location bar), then you ought to be able to install the extension by clicking its link.

Are you saying that you are seeing the same problem?

(In reply to comment #3) [...] > Are you saying that you are seeing the same problem? I'm saying that I used to... then it was fixed... but maybe not perfectly... OTOH, clicking the link in the folder view always worked for me exactly as if I had clicked a remote link to the same XPI in a web page.

I can't reproduce this and after 7 years, assuming its not valid, if that's not the case please reopen.
