[Bug 573404] Re: unable to download addons - example:adblock+
After doing some searching, I found that this issue has been reported upstream: mozilla 543420. The upstream bug was filed against Windows, which suggests that this is not an Ubuntu-only issue. The upstream report also pointed to the support page I provided earlier: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons which did not seem to resolve the issue for anyone. However, on that support page is an area describing how to make sure software installation isn't disabled. Just to be safe, could someone follow the directions on that support page and make sure their system hasn't disabled the installation for some reason? I highly doubt this is the case since nobody seems to be able to even download the addons, but it's another thing to rule out. I will discuss this with some of the developers to see if this report should be linked to the upstream report and if there is any extra information that we will need. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 573404] Re: unable to download addons - example:adblock+
I just checked, and xpinstall.enabled is indeed set to true. Another (possibly related?) bug: when trying to install an addon, the bar with the message Firefox prevented this site (addons.mozilla.org) from asking you to install software on your computer, appears at the top of the page, as it should. However, even though I click allow, Firefox does not preserve this setting in Preferences - Security - Exceptions when I try again, either in the same session, or after restarting. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, direct download is not possible too. The error is something like the source file cannot be read. FYI: I tried to change the network connection mode in firefox from use system settings to direct etc. -- no success. I tried the download from my other pc (windows) and the download was successful. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 573404] Re: unable to download addons - example:adblock+
I'm running Lucid 10.04 LTS on an old Pentium IV, 2.4GHz machine with an Nvidia GeForce Ti 4200 card. I started experiencing this problem with 10.04beta - but not right away - and also after a fresh install of 10.04 after it was officially released. In 10.04beta, I was initially able to install addons in Firefox, but after a while, they would not update (Download error - 228). Now, with the official release, I have the same problem right from the start with ANY addons or themes. I've tried all the suggestions here and on the Mozilla website, but none of them work. I can't even download the addons by right-clicking and then saving them to disk. I've downloaded the addons using another machine, but when I copy them to this computer, dragging and dropping them to the Addons window doesn't work either. The only thing that does seem to work is to enable to set 'extensions.hideInstallButton' to 'false' in about:config (i.e., to enable the 'Install' button in the Addons window, and then to manually install extensions that I've downloaded using another machine. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, no success with the solutions of the Mozilla support site. My cache was set to 50 MB. I increased, decreased and purged the cache --- no success. Furthermore it is not only a problem with ONE single addon. All addons are affected -- no server error or something in that way. It is local problem. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for the update. If you go to the Mozilla Add-ons website, are you able to right-click the Add to Firefox button and use Save link as... to download the .xpi? -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 573404] Re: unable to download addons - example:adblock+
Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. According to the Mozilla support site, this error is usually due to insufficient cache space being set for Firefox to use: http://support.mozilla.com/en- US/kb/unable+to+install+add-ons#Download_Error_228 Please go to Edit Preferences Advanced Network inside of Firefox, then make sure there is at least 1MB devoted to Firefox cache (I have it set to 50MB on my system, but the support site says to make sure it has at least 1MB). If that does not resolve the issue, then it could be due to a problem on the server, in which case attempting to download the extension again later may work. Please try these fixes, and let us know whether they resolve the issue for you or not. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem on my laptop (Ubuntu 10.04 on amd64). Hint: The standard problem resolution, delete extension.rdf + extension.cache in profile, does NOT work. -- unable to download addons - example:adblock+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
