Did you go to Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Software Installation and
checkmark Allow web sites to install extensions and updates? You can
fine tune this option by allowing only certain sites to install plugins.
And which plugins are you trying to install (from which websites)?
Not sure if you know
Do you maybe use Noscript extension?
Noscript usually disables javascript on non-approved pages and that is what
those web pages with addons rely on.
Please clarify where (on on what page) button for installing addons is not
working?
On addons.mozilla.org or inside Seamonkey itself during *.xpi
