Hi Hernan,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I tried them all (on Windows 7 RC with FF
3.5.2)

1. 2. and 3. made no difference in the behaviour.  Each one generated
the same errors in the installation log that I posted previously.

However 4 worked!  (Seeing what it does, I guess it had to work!)

The hardest part was finding the xpi (Google'd firebug.xpi and poked
around in the directory lists to find firebug-1.4.2.xpi) and then
downloading it (I had to use IE because FF kept recognising the file
as an .xpi that it wanted to install). Now I have the Firebug icon in
the bottom right corner and can open some windows and can start
learning how to use it.

I think there is some general problem with FF 3.5.2 I can't get any
extensions to install (same type of messages in the installation log).
I want to get my bookmarks etc back from XMarks and get my FF back to
where it used to be.  It seems to me from the error msgs in the
installation log that FF is uable to unzip the xpi into the extensions
folder - it's getting some sort of permissions problem. But this is
puzzling because I am working in an Admin account on a standalone PC -
and I had no problems manually unzipping the xpi.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion - hope it helps Wendy as well!
