This is not for a specific extension, this is for all add-ons. How can I download an add-on? When I visit the addons page, it always asks to add to firefox. I need to install the add-on on a different instance of firefox without internet access. How can I do that? Thanks.

Right-click on the "Add to Firefox" button and choose "Save Link As". This should let you save the add-ons file (a .xpi file)

To install the add-on, you can use "File > Open File" and open the .xpi file.
