Hello
I have just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.0.4 Netbook Edition on my Asus Eee PC 1000H, which was originally running Windows XP. Right after the installation I used the Update Manager to download/install updates. It works fine so far and I think I am beginning to like it.
I just could not get my head around one issue with the Firefox 3.6.6. For some strange reasons I just could not download and install Firefox add-ons or themes. I would click on the button "Add to Firefox". The download window with the progress bar would appear. The progress bar would get stuck at 0% with the message "waiting". After 30 secs or so, this error message would appear:
Firefox could not install the file at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/downloads/file/92118/tab_mix_plus-0.3.8.4-fx.xpi?src=api&confirmed=1
because: Download error
-228
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks in advance
