software installation disabled
|
|
|
| Hi, I'm trying to download some Firefox add-ons, such as adblock, but I am
getting a message across the top of the screen:
"Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit Options...to enable it
and try again."
I have clicked on their button to Edit Options, but cannot find anything to
enable software installation.
Please help! Thanks.

Thank you; any idea why it's false and why we have to go through all that?

Nope! Maybe the developers are mean!

No, its because of a 'security fix' in previous versions. The xpi
install was defaulted to off to protect users from specific exploits,
now that other measures have been taken to correct or 'fix' the
exploits, the feature can be turned back on again.

AHA! I figured that there had to be a sensible answer.
Thanks.
