Re: Install error

This appears to be a problem with your firefox setup.

From Mozillazine:

Download Error -228

This error message may be caused by having the cache set to 0. Try setting the cache to at least 1MB or, if it is already, clear the cache. The cache settings can be found in the "Advanced -> Network" (Firefox 2) or "Privacy -> Cache" (Firefox 1.5 or earlier) panel of your Firefox Options/Preferences.

If that doesn't work, a workaround is to right-click the download link, select "Save Link As..." and download the .xpi or .jar file to your computer. You can then manually install it by dragging the file icon onto an open Firefox window [2].

Firewalls or spyware screeners may cause this issue. If you use the CA firewall, Windows Defender, or the resident option of Spybot S&D ("Teatimer" feature), temporarily disable it to see if your system will now allow the extensions or themes to install [3].

Re: Install error

Thank you The work around worked fine for me. My chache as set around 100 so there is an bug somewhere in this.
I have not actually used firegpg yet but it has installed so all should be good.
