Re: Firefox Extensions

Greetings Gentlefolk.
Firefox Extensions - I canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t download any of them.
I have tried the extensions page, a mirror site, and s1lv3rââ‚Ãâ €šÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s site. I can
access all the sites Home page etc, but as soon as I hit the download button - nothing, zilch, zero, the hamster dies and the wheel stops turning.
I have tried with Firefox and IE6 with the same results.
I canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t see that it is my settings because I have happily downloaded and installed a load of updates to other applications over the last couple of days, but I have done the usual cache purge, proxy dance etc., with no result. I have previously downloaded ( but later removed) a couple of extensions so it has worked!
In IE6 I get error on page in the status bar, and in Firefox (void)Javescript installer
Any and all suggestions gratefully received, because I am completely comfumbulated.
I have XP Pro firewall, AVG7, ADAware Spybot, spyware blaster and all permissions set (as far as I know ) to allow the download.

Bookmarks and Favourites.
Slightly different question. One of the things I miss with FF is a shortcut on the desktop to Bookmarks. Iââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ve got one for favourites for IE and use it all the time.
I was looking at Favourites convertor export which would seem to do what I want (if I erver get to dowload) but the reviews range from abysmal to terrible with only a few votes for. Has anybody tried it, or any similar extension?

Thank you for your attention, and if anyone can sort it for me I promise to think of you at Christmas. (wonâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t do anything, just think of you)

TIA Joe.
