Firefox can't install Google Bar xpi

[David Losada Gacio]

Kubuntu 8.04 updated; using Firefox 2.0.0.14, if you try to install the Google Bar xpi, Firefox causes an error "203" (see the attached image).

Starting firefox from konsole doesn't make any difference.

My experience is that this happens for any extension I try to install.

If you look in Hardy repos you will find a bunch of extensions that we
now maintain, sorry bug google tool bar is not likely to ever be one
since it is ALWAYS broken. I am unable to load Launchpad.net for a few
hours but i will make sure this bug is the one i think it is.

s/bug/but
This is the bug i thought it was thanks for reporting it.
Can you please follow the instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs
on how to start with new profile as this sounds like your profile is corrupt in some way.

[David Losada Gacio (losadaz)]

Yes, I followed the instructions and now it works.
I could install Google Toolbar over version 2 (firefox-2) after a new profile was added and selected.

Could the bug be related by a bad profile from version 3? Just a thought.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

issue was due to corrupt profile
