Been trying to install Add-ons but I keep getting that error message, even on the Add-ons website still cant install nothing not even update my currently existing add-ons. Already tried on 3 systems and still the same problem, 2 of them with freshly installed Firefox 12, no previous version installed on the system. Any suggestions or updates soon about this issue?

It also happened with Firefox 11 when the update to Firefox 12 was available.

what kind of network are you on - is it a corporate environment where the download & installation of extension files could be prohibited? you can also try installing an addon with your security software totally disabled once...
