Ubuntu hardy and noscript problems

["Scott R. Ehrlich" <user=81@nabble.blu.org>]

 I took the plunge and upgraded yesterday.   My system originally had 
feisty, then was dist-upgraded to gutsy, now dist-upgraded to hardy. 

All files downloaded, but gstreamer complained and the upgraded "crashed". 

So I rebooted, got an error, and continued with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
and it went through more updates.  I rebooted, grub still shows ubuntu 
7.10, so another round of dist-upgrade, another reboot, and we were in 
business. 

Firefox 3 is the default, but I don't want to play with betas so I used 
synaptic to completely remove all firefox versions (2 and 3), removed 
/etc/firefox prefs, as I had my own working copy in /usr/local/bin 
downloaded from mozilla.com anyway. 

I then visit Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Get Extensions then search for 
noscript.  Mozilla.com finds it, complains it is unsigned, downloads it, 
prompts me to install it, then at the Installing... window, immediately 
produces: 

"Error 
Firefox could not install the file at 
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/27442/noscript-1.6.4-fx+mz+sm.xpi

because: Unexpected installation error 
Review the Error Console log for more details. 
-203" 

then an OK button is the only choice. 

Tools > Error Console 
reveals: 

Error: installLocation has no properties 
Source File: file:///usr/local/bin/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js 
Line: 3938 


Looks like many similar bugs have been filed but for other firefox 
components as well. 

What next?
