"firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer" I need to install from Amazon website a Firefox Add Ons keeps installing the wrong app. I can click the "Allow" button, but a further error message says something like "Connection Lost" and it won't install. What can I do to get round this?

Yes here it is, and it has now installed, didn't do anything different - but is the app different from the .com assistant?
