Hello,

The error may be from the way you are installing the add on ,Try the method below.

-Open any indexes of version you want,https://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6/

-Right click on any of the link and choose "save as"

-There will be one ".xpi" file which will be downloaded locally to your computer.

-Copy that .xpi file and paste it in your computer/server where there is no internet connection.

-In that PC/sever,open Firefox–>go to tools –>Add-ons

-Drag that copied .xpi file into Add-ons window and click on install

-Reconnect the internet connection then restart Firefox .
