Whenever I click download for any add-on for firefox a box pops up and says that i need to install firefox first and then it says learn more. so i click learn more and it takes me to the firefox download page. At first I thought it was because i needed to update firefox so i tried that and it didnt work. I really need help because as of right now im not able to download any firefox add-on.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and the addons website doesn't know you are running Firefox 3.6.3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent

type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page. Filter = general.useragent. Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset, Then restart Firefox

Hey the-edmeister this is Greg, thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.
