Have you tried the menu under "File > open file"?
Or tried Help with "installing add-ons".

i tried in shell the following command:

firefox -install-global-extension AAA.xpi

no open file in the menü....

>i tried in shell the following command:

I'm suggesting you bring up firefox then open a URL with the .xpi extension. Either Open file or Open Location. Both under the File menu.

ok that's right, but i have a script that installed the firefox with the extension... and in the script i can't start the firefox and open the menu point.

also an interaktive solution ;-)

I tried your syntax with something I already have. I don't get anything, not even a warning it was already there:
united_states_english_dictionary-3.0-fx+tb+sm.xpi

[T Bruns]

when i install the extension for a single user, there is no problem...

i will install the extension for all users... and that is a problem :-((( as root i tried to install the extension with the systax

firefox -install-global-extension AAA.xpi

but for a user like thomas the extension is not aktiv, when i start firefox...

[T Bruns]

ups

and when i install the extension with the interaktive script then pops up an windows with the question "install extension" and i manuel accept it.

but this is not the way i want to go... i must install the extension without any manual input, like press mousebutton or a key input and so on...
