RE: cant install forefox themes
I've just been trying it out and i can't download it from that page either, but i found a solution which works for me. Instead of installing from that page, click on the title name of the theme you want eg. https://addons.update.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo...ar&numpg=10&id=370 for the platinum theme. Click the install now on this page. It might say it could not download the file, but it still gets added to firefox themes.

I think it did use to work by clicking install from that page, but just recently has stopped. Glad I could help.

RE: cant install forefox themes
Same happens to me. When I try to install from the main page it says corrupted file. But when I click on the title and then Install, it works fine.
Very weird.

You should also check for theme compatibility, in case you aren't already. Themes for older versions usually cause unexpected behaviour of the program.

Yeh it does say 0.8 - 1.0
So I guess 1.0.3 isn't compatable.

Possible, though unlikely. Whenever someone releases a version where only the last numbers change (eg FF 1.0.2 and 1.0.3). It's usually for just bug and security fixes.

You can also right click the install link and choose "Save Link As" and save it to your comp, then go to Tools / Themes then drag the file into there and install it.

Yeh. But it would be nice if you could just click it and it worked
