Addons cant install

more options

I had problem with Firefox. He was slow, i reseted, but my addons disappear. Now i have problem, i can install any addon's. Doesnt matter, official or unofficial. I cant anything. Firefox was again reseted, uninstalled and again installed. No matter what i do, come this massage:

"Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

Do you run ESET security software? Some version(s) of ESET have been blocking add-on installs, but I haven't been watching the status of a fix for that.

Okay, here are two older issues:

(1) Connection issue

If you right-click the Add to Firefox button and use Save Link As, can Firefox successfully download the file?

(2) Verification issue

One reason for verification to fail is if your computer clock is set to a date well in the future or the past.
