Talk:Installing Extensions: Difference between revisions

''All extensions are tested prior to being accepted onto Update Mozilla. This means that they are fully examined to ensure that they install and unstall correctly, allow Firefox to operate properly, work correctly and do not contain any spyware or other undesirable malware.  

The messages that you are receiving about invalid files etc. are most likely because hen you download an extension soon after it has been submitted, it may not have properly propagated to all of the mirror sites, resulting in these errors. Additionally, some mirrors fail to receive the files from time to time as well for various reasons.  

Admittedly, the terminology for these error messages could be cleared up a bit, but that's the basic reason for the majority of messages that people receive.
