what version of firefox are you using?
1.07 or a beta version?
RE: fire fox help by Discrate on 11-22-2005 at 11:21 AM
1.5 beta
RE: fire fox help by Reaper on 11-22-2005 at 11:25 AM
hmm
that might be the problem, the extension might not be supported in the beta version. try downgrading to version 1.07 and see what happens
RE: fire fox help by -dt- on 11-22-2005 at 11:27 AM
oh uh try
close firefox.
go to your profile directory find your "extensions.rdf" file and rename it to "extensions.old.rdf"
restart firefox.
tell me if that fixes it

no , ive had this happen in everything > 1.0 and downgrading wont solve it , before 1.5 i used to just create a new profile but now extensions are handled differently so deleting /renaming the extensions.rdf normally fixes such problems

but eh its possible that they have it set to some way high number like adblock does so it will always install
