Rocky,

Did you ever get this sorted out?

If not, try this:

1) Open a new tab
2) In the location bar type "about:config" without the quotes and hit
enter or click the go button
3) In the filter box type "install"
4) Look in the "Preference Name" column for an item called "xpinstall.enabled"
5) Make sure it's value is true. Double click on the value to change
it if necessary.
6) Restart Firefox.

That should reenable installations

This also sure sounds like a problem that you had a while back, or at
least I *THINK* it was you that was having a similar issue.
