I am a new user to xubuntu 10.04, and I just installed it on a computer duel-booting with Vista. Whenever I try to download an add-on, the opens the download add-ons screen, but nothing else. Then, it quits out saying that Firefox could not install the file at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/9825/addon-9825-latest.xpi?src=search because: Download error -228

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I tried to download an add-on

Turn off IPv6:

Enter in the URL address box:

about:config

Click "I'll be careful"

Type ipv6 in the filter box to get to the one and only line that's needed; it'll say network.dns.disableipv6

the default value is "false"; double-click to set the value to "true" (to disable IPv6)
