Trouble Installing the NoScript Firefox Extension

I've just upgraded to Firefox 1.5.0.2, and when I try to install NoScript 1.1.4, I get this (the pop-up box's title is "Malformed File"):

Quote:

Firefox could not install this item because "install-qvq..rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.

I was actually using NoScript 1.1.4 on Firefox 1.5.0.1 without any apparent issues. The only difference is that at that time I updated to 1.1.4 from a previously installed version (using Firefox's built-in extension updater).

BTW, I did a rm -fr ~/.mozilla after installing this new Firefox, in order to start with a fresh configuration.

Anyone know what could be preventing me from installing NoScript?

Anyone experiencing the same behaviour?

Fixed. Seems I had accidentally changed the permissions for /tmp, so the fix was simply a:

Code:

chmod 1777 /tmp
