Description Ryan Lynch 2005-04-26 00:00:19 UTC

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]

Error: install is not defined

Error: dialog has no properties

Error: dialog has no properties

Error: dialog has no properties

If I try to install a theme as root, the first and last errors go away and I'm left with the "install is not defined" error.  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.
