        hmmm...probably because Firefox should be installing version 0.4.3. This problem continues to crop up. I'm truly sorry that you're encountering it, especially because I don't know why it happens.

        Firefox requests updates from
        https://ProcrasDonate.com/procrasdonate_media/rdf/udpate.rdf
        which specifies the file to download, including its hash (a number that can be repeatedly generated from the file, and which is an almost-unique representation of the file).

        The update is currently set to ProcrasDonate_Update_0.4.3.xpi. If Firefox tries to download a different version of the file hash will be wrong for the new file.

        We used to (accidentally) cache xpi and rdf files, so things would get out of date. At least we thought that was the problem. They're not being cached now. I thought this problem was fixed.

        If this error occurred after Feb 4th, which is when 0.4.3 was released, then I don't understand what's happening. If you shoot me an email we might be able to debug this further.

        Lucy.
