You don't mention what you have tried doing to fix this, so I'll start with the basics. Have you checked in Tools - Options (Or Edit - Preferences, it's changed recently) - Web Features to make sure the box is checked for "Allow websites to install software"? You may also need to add one/some websites to the allow list, for which websites can install software. A good one for starters is update.mozilla.org. Also, if it gives you the option, make sure you're selecting to install the extension/theme in your profile, not the application directory. And finally, wait about 10 seconds between attempts of clicking on the Install link - sometimes it takes a few seconds for it to process the information for the extension/theme and ask if you really want to install it.
