I believe this is actually related to bug 77627.  It's not that the Cancel
button isn't working, it's that none of the callbacks from necko are working so
there's no download actually occuring.  If there's no download occuring the code
that processes the cancel button is not being executed so... no cancel.

From Daniel Vedits on the XPInstall newgroup - 

Recent builds have some MIME-type handler problems; in broken builds the
only way to start an XPInstall is with a snippet of javascript:

InstallTrigger.startSoftwareUpdate("file://blah/blah")

This works for me on 0.9.2 with using a http:// address in place of file:// (but
not with file://).
