Do you have website software installation enabled? Check in
Edit->Preferences->Advanced. There should be a check-box labelled
"Allow web sites to install software" under "Software Update". If
that's checked and it still isn't working, try going to the
extension's homepage and downloading the .xpi file yourself -- it
could be that the "install now" link is broken. Firefox should then
ask you if you want to install it.
