the above mentioned way of installing firefox extensions does work
flawlessly here, that's why I've created this wiki page.

What operating system do you use? Have you adjusted the xpidir and zip
lines of the script to according to your needs? If "install.rdf" is in
use, try to find out which process does use it - perhaps there's another
cscript running in background ... or just firefox hanging around.

I could provide you zip for download with all needed files in it (recent
firefox 3.6.11), if needed.

Best regards
