All of the sudden when I click on the “Install Now” icon at [Mozilla Update](https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&numpg=10&category=Entertainment) nothing happens. I’m running 1.0 and I don’t think I’ve changed anything. but the last 2 time I’ve tried it hasn’t worked. Any Ideas?
