When installing firefox themes from the firefox website, firefox tries to treat the jar as a file to download instead of running the javascript to install it. In the JavaScript Console I see the following errors. Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.create]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: file:///usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js :: getDirInternal :: line 141" data: no] Source File: file:///usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js Line: 141 Error: [Exception...

This error is reproduceable on firefox 1.0.2 and 1.0.3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://addons.update.mozilla.org/themes/?application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} 2. Try to install a firefox theme 3.
Just to save some questions, I do have JavaScript enabled.
I've also tried to insall themes in this version of firefox and I'm getting the exact same error that the reporter of the bug is getting (and is reproducable).
This problem turned out to lie in the firefox webpage and not in firefox itself, resloved invalid, sorry for the inconvenience.
