Is it being blocked by an antivirus or a Firewall ?

Firefox is blocking it not the firewall!

Turn Firefox off before installing plugins. The installers for plugins that I use tell me to do that anyway.

How do I do that when I have to install it using the internet?

Download the installer, then turn off the browser before you run it.

See if this helps you. http://www.slingbox.com/en-US/Support/KB/KB-1000067.aspx

Under Removing the plugin it mentions looking in the Extensions tab of the Add-ons manager, so that plugin installs as an extension, so Firefox does have to be open to install that "plugin".
