For others having this problem and awaiting a solution, a temporary workaround when trying to install add-ons is to open the "Download Now" button in a new tab (click with middle mouse button); for some reason, that works and allows the add-on to be installed.
Problem seems to be solved with Firefox 10/Xulrunner 10
Thanks, should be fixed now, FF10 is in rawhide/updates.
