xpinsall.enabled does not appear on list when typed into filter
after downloading add-ons and restarting firefox, the add-ons still are not functioning. the tools menu looks as if no add-on is there. the trouble shooting guide had me type in about:config into the search line. and then asked me to type in xpinstall.enabled into the filter, while there are other xpinstall features, xpinstall.enabled does not show up on the list

The xpinsall.enabled pref is a hidden pref in Firefox 4 and is only there if you've created it. If it isn't there then it defaults to enabled. You will get a pop-up asking for permission if the pref is false.
Do you get a message that you need to close and restart Firefox to finish the installation?

Thanx but I found out why the add-ons did not install. The add-ons are not available for the latest version of Firefox I found acceptable alternatives that did install.
