What was the exact error that you got when you tried to install it?

[jmorelli]

I'm sorry I did not tell the error, when I clik to install the *.xpi it goes to the agreement license and when I confirm nothing happend, My cookies are ok, like it says in the tutorial: If nothing happend...,
Thank you Josh, I really apreciate what you're doing for us, the newbie users of ubuntu, and I love your english accent because I understand everything you say on the podcast, like in my english lessons. :)
I have found another extension called Foxmarks, but I prefer to use the google one if I can make it work.
Thank's again. I wait for the answer if there is any :-k

If this is your first time installing a Google Firefox extension, when you click "Agree and Install", the Firefox browser may display a notice in a bar across the top of the page. View screenshot

If this notice appears, you will need to edit your browser options to allow the extension to be installed from Google:
1a. Click "Edit Options..." in the bar. The Firefox "Allowed Sites" window will appear.
1b. In this window, enter tools.google.com in the box under "Address of web site". View screenshot
1c. Click "Allow" to add Google to the list of allowed sites, then click "OK".
1d. You will need to click "Agree and Install" a second time to begin installation.


Try that and see if that works :). I had to the first time I installed it.

Thanks for the comments on the podcast :)

I have the same problem with Google Browser Sync, and the message thats supposed to come up at the top when it gets blocks doesnt even apprear.

I E-mailed google asking for the link on the support adress for google browser sync, I got this auto reply:

All I can say that it works fine for me, and I have never had a problem with it. I have no idea what is wrong with it, but hopefully someone else out there might now what is wrong with it :)

Thank you sharperguy, going to this link right now, and thank you Josh, see you ( or hear you ) at the next podcast.;)

[jmorelli]

Ok, here it is what I found, thanks to sharperguy:

...Well, I am guessing you are not in America. Try connecting through a
proxy in America as Google seems to be banning certain locations for
some reason and wont give any information about it
Then point your browser over here:
