Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When trying to select an extension from the default list of Firefox
extensions that come with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, the item is not shown to
be selected immediately. The checkbox is however shown selected after
any other input operation, like moving to the next item using down arrow
key.

How to reproduce:
Start Firefox web browser
Go to Tools -> Add-ons and click on "Get Ubuntu Addons"
Select one of the items from the opened "Install/Remove Extensions" window 
(using mouse or keyboard)
Press space trying to select the currently highlighted item. Some visual 
response can be observed but the checkbox is not selected.
Move to another item by pressing down arrow key on the keyboard or move the 
mouse just a little bit. The item selected in previous step is now show as 
selected using the check mark.

The same problem exists when de-selecting an already selected extension
using the keyboard.

New users may get confused by this kind of behaviour. This surprising
behaviour does not present itself when browsing the interface using the
mouse.
