From both the Mozilla addon site and thebankshow.com site, I try to install Pitchdark from the following link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1529

However, each time, I get the following dialog box message:

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/1529/addon-1529-latest.jar?src=addondetail

because: Invalid hash(possible download corruption) -261

I am running Windows XP/SP3, and Firefox 3.6.3. I have even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but the same behavior obtains.

Why does this happen, and how can I install it? I have installed Pitchdark on 3 other Windows XP machines without incident.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I can't recall, but it may have been on a Firefox upgrade.

Hi Brint.

You should ask the extension's author for support. It may be a temporary error of some sort, however. Try again, or download it to your computer and install it from there.

Morbus's idea does not work. Pitchdark is a theme, and I cannot see a way to download a theme and install it from my computer. By turning on 3-rd party cookies, I was able to "install" Pitchdark since my original posting, but it does not appear. In fact, no matter what theme I install, only the default theme appears. IT seems, therefore, to be a Firefox problem rather than a theme or add-on problem.
