This worked for one extremely humble (wink wink) user:
https://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?p=100053#p100053

in particula, temporarily disabling xpinstall.signatures.required :

 1) Open about:config
 2) Toggle the value of xpinstall.signatures.required so it becomes false.
 3) Restart the browser.

This epitome of submission did not need step 3).

Good luck ;)
