Add-ons like NoScript fail to install even after restarting the browser. Everytime I open the add-ons tab I get a message to restart firefox but subsequent restarts results in no effect. Please assist.

Try resetting the Extension Manager. With Firefox closed, delete the following files in your Profile folder':
extensions.cache
extensions.ini
extensions.rdf
and
compatibility.ini
They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.

Making sure Firefox closed:

You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

It's definitely compatible, it's strange that everytime I click on "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions", I get a message bar on top saying "Restart Firefox to complete your changes" and it keeps prompting me even if I restart 10 times...
