Plugin Unable to be Installed Globally

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download plugin to disk.
2. Open command prompt / terminal to the location of the downloaded plugin.
3. Execute: firefox -install-global-extension nagios_checker-0.14.4-fx+tb.xpi 
as root or a 
Windows Administrator.
4. Log in as a different user.
5. Open Firefox.
6. Installation error greets you.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected result (on first launch) was that the Add-Ons window would open 
and notify you of 
the newly installed NAGIOS Checker extension.

Instead we're treated to a modal dialog that says:
Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the 
item) is not well-formed 
or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.

What version of the product are you using (Nagios Checker and Nagios)? On what 
operating 
system?
RHEL5 (Workstation Version) 64-bit, Firefox 3.0.5

Blugh, shame I doesn't appear to be able to edit it.

Well, NAGIOS version = 2.12
NAGIOS Checker I'm trying to install as listed in the reproducing steps = 0.14.4

I think i was caused by the feature that saved configuration into the text 
config file 
on start of the extension (this should help some users that have their Firefox 
opened 
for long time and if it was accidentally closed by OS they sometimes lost 
configuration 
(saved in Firefox configuration database)). The problem was that this file was 
stored 
in extension installation folder and I think this folder has some access rights 
issues. 
In current beta version I switched off this feature by default and you can also 
choose 
where to store this file.
Could you test it if it solved your problem?
