Re: Unable to install ANY Mozilla Firefox Addons
You could re-start in safe mode and install/uninstall but without knowing whats in the log(you need to check the log[i dont know where it is] not the console) its hard to help you... Download statusbar might not be compatible with other plugins/updates though i'm using the latest beta and download statusbar works fine (and i love it)...
Cheers, Jamey |

Re: Unable to install ANY Mozilla Firefox Addons
Since you said this started after FireFox updated it might be a corrupt install of the update. I would try uninstalling FireFox then re-installing it to see if this corrects your problems.

Re: Unable to install ANY Mozilla Firefox Addons
Thanx for all your help guys but i fixed the problem myself:
Unexpected installation error -203 This error message can be caused by corrupted configuration files on your computer. Corrupt extension files Corrupt extension configuration files can cause problems when trying to install an extension. Deleting these files will make Firefox recreate them (removing any corruption) the next time it starts. You won't lose your extensions or their settings by deleting these files. 1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select File and then select the Exit menu item. 2. Go to your profile folder. 3. Delete the following files: * extensions.ini * extensions.cache * extensions.rdf 4. Restart Firefox. **How to find your profile Windows Vista 1. Click the Windows Start button, and type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the Start Search box near the bottom of the Start menu, without pressing Enter. A list of profiles will appear in the top left of the Start menu. 2. Click on any of the profiles (e.g. xxxxxxxx.default) to open it with Windows Explorer. On Windows 2000 and XP 1. Click the Windows Start button, and select Run. Type in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ then click OK. Windows Explorer opens a folder containing your profiles. 2. Double-click the profile folder you wish to open (e.g. the xxxxxxxx.default folder).** Soon as firefox had restarted,it had all the addons/extensions i previously had & was as it should be!! |
