dear all,

I have installed Mozilla Firefox 3.6.10 on my computer. When I wanted
to install add-ons, it says "Download Error -228". Then I was
googling, and did what it was told in one article. But still, when I
install add-ons, can not be installed, and remain "Download Error
-228". What should I do next? Thank you.

Sorry for my bad English :D

I don't know anything about your problem, but I do know that your
written English (as is usually the case in such declarations) better
than mine.

I just tried it in 3.6.11 -- no problems. It installed just fine. That
is probably not what you want to hear, but it might point you towards a
setting or something like that. Even another add-on conflict perhaps.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall, AV Scanner and try again.

Also make sure your FF cache is set to more than 1 mb

Are your firewall setting such that they allow the download from that site?

I've successfully installed add-ons/extension, but now I can't do it.
Though there are no settings that I change.

Won't install or won't download. Have you tried downloading the
extension to your desktop (for instance) and then install it from there?

Do you get any error messages - don't remember if you mentioned that - ?

When you attempt to install an extension and it doesn't install, what is
the message you see telling you why it won't install?
