Ahah, sorry I didn't catch your own followup before I tried to help :)

A few questions:  What OS?  Is this on linux?
Did you restart FF after attempting to enable installation of add-ons?
(check the process list to make sure)

IIRC, FF by default allows extensions to be installed from mozilla.org -- there are some nifty extensions elsewhere and those sites do need to be permitted.

OK, I notice, when I click on the "install Add-on" button, an info bar

to enable it and try again."

There doesn't seem to be any reference to software installation when I
"Click Edit Options."  Under Options/Content, there's an option to "warn
me when websites try to install extensions or themes," which is unchecked.

But checked or unchecked, I still can't install add-ons. Even when I
check it and add the mozilla address as an allowed exception, the add-on
still won't install.

Wha?
