Whenever I try to install a new addon for Abrowser I get this message: "Trisquel.info: Abrowser prevented this site from asking you to install software onto your computer".

I have tried adding trisquel.info and adblockplus.org (the addon I was trying to download) to the allowed sites as well as un-ticking "the warn me about any sites..." box but nothing works. This is on the about:addons page too.

How do you guys get your addons?

Yeah, I think this is the recent Firefox feature of refusing to install add-ons that aren't signed by Mozilla. I guess it wasn't disabled properly. The way I worked around it was to download the add-on with wget and then open it with Abrowser; it seems to treat add-ons from the local system differently from add-ons in a remote location.
