so you have tried:

clicking tools then click themes/extensions whichever it is you want.
in this box at the very bottom right you will have a link Get more extension/themes (depending on which you clicked).
This should take you to a page for downloads. click whichever ext/themes you wish. then click the inistall button.

Now if you have FF1.0 there may be a sort of tab like thing that appears on the website, (at the top) which may say you cannot download/it is not trusted, just allow to download from the site.

if this does not work, the best thing to do would be to delete the firefox program, and its folder, (after you have downloaded a new copy) and then re-install it, you may have picked up a bug with a certain extension/theme.
you don't/wont get rid of themes or extensions, but I would write down what I had and get all of them fresh.

I have had lots of probs with Adblock, so I no longer have that extension and now my FF works like a dream.

EDIT: go to tools - options - Web Features and click on Allow web sites to install software make sure it is ticked.

I hope this helps.

p.s. to thank people you should just rep them, not think about them, it will make their christmas even more merrier.
