I got an email from Firefox about installing the "Goal" sidebar, which sounds great. However, I can sit here and click on "activate now" all day, but nothing happens. I had no problem adding it to my android phone, only on my Surface Pro.

Chosen solution

Try it from the Activation page, using the Activate Now >> button. https://activations.cdn.mozilla.net/en-US/goal.html?utm_source=snippet&utm_medium=snippet&utm_content=WorldCup2014en&utm_campaign=WC2014&sample_rate=0.1&snippet_name=4423

Thank you. That was the same page where I was having the problem, and it still was not installing. So I turned off "always start with private browsing" in my options, and that did the trick.
