I can't update my extensions in firefox. I get this message everytime (doesn't matter wich extension): "Firefox kan inte installera filen på https://addons.mozilla.org/_files/3590/fast_video_download_with_searchmenu-4.0.1-fx.xpi p.g.a.: Ogiltig filhash (möjligen en skadad filhämtning) -261" - which means something like Firefox can't install the file at :xxxxx.xpi because of ....... -261.
