  • After I registered for this site it automatically kicked me to one click away from this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-ons-extensions-or-themes

  • I am almost positive mine is cause of a java blocker i installed, ghostery, or ublock.
  • I have disabled them (My tablets menu button -> Tools -> Add-ons -> click on an add-on -> disable)
  • I will try to restart browser ( I posted this cause, I might lose the link before this is done)
  • ^* Did not work,

Now trying the "Corrupt Files" option. --( Incidentally, I had installed my yahoo mail app during this without problems, and with clear notifications of download process at top of device)

  • ^* Can't find Profile--- Maybe Antiuqated feature
  • Trying Safe Mode Instructions
  • ^* Can't find---Seems to be only for desktop.
