    Is anyone else having problems updating their extensions and/or themes in 1.0.4? Whenever i try and update it just says 'downloading and installing updates' and then it just stays there. Usually it'd update within a matter of minutes

    Only problem I have is that it hogs resources more than IE.

    It may be due to security issues back in 1.0.3 that auto install of extension updates is disabled in 1.0.4 by default.

    The following workaround works for me.

    Right click on the extension's download link and save it to your desktop.
    Open the Extensions window. (Firefox Tools menu -> Extensions)
    Drag the downloaded extension .xpi from the desktop onto the Extensions window, and it should install. Restart Firefox as usual.

    If that doesn't work, then yes, something's not right with the update dialogue.

    My copy of spellbound updated just fine and I'm using 1.0.4. But it's a clean install, so that might have something to do with it.

    99% suggested this to me for another plugin..it worked for me:

    right clik save as
    then in firefox file open file
    What it did was popup a little window asking what program to open it with, just choose Firefox.
