I would like to install the "adblock" extension for mozilla/firefox.

When I try, it tells me that "Software installation is currently
disabled".  Even if I go through the motions of enabling software
installation in FireFox.  I think this is really a permissions
problem.

I can download without installing, and get
"adblock-0.5.3.042-fx+fl+mz+ns.xpi".  This seems to be a zip archive,
with contents:
chrome/
chrome.manifest*
components/
defaults/
install.js*
install.rdf*
license.txt*

Presumably I should do something (as root) to install it.  What?

This is how I installed Adblock in my Firefox ver 1.5.

Open Firefox:

1. Tools
2. Extensions
3. Get more extensions
4. Adblock
5. Install Now
6. Install Now

Note: Adblock will be upgraded when Firefox is restarted.

Adblock will appear in the Tools menu and also at the lower right corner of the Firefox window if all goes well.
