If I use SeaMonkey to attempt downloading of the FF xpi it says:
"The add-on downloaded from an unknown host could not be installed
  because it appears to be corrupt."

Could BIL's comp have multiple versions of FF?
Perhaps some on another drive?
Could it have other brands of viewers and FF is not the default?
Could TeamViewer think the xpi is trying to install on Your comp and not 
his comp?  Or something like that.
