I haven't figured out yet if it's one already described in Bugzilla, or not. Puzzling over the many extension bug reports.

One person with OSX 10.4 and a G5 processor is able to install extensions into recent nightlies; the rest of us posting there can't. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=308078 I haven't found a bug number for this one yet. Glad you asked! It seems to be a problem that happened just before the recent branch, because it's a problem for both branch and trunk nightlies for OSX. I have to revert to the 7/30 build to install an extension if I need one. Same here, and there’s a thread in the Builds area of Mozilla’s discussions about this.

The Install button counts down so I hit Install again, it counts down and I hit Install again... and over and over we go. I'm going to go hunt for a possible bug report, but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue. For some reason, I cannot install extensions lately (Mac OS X).
