There’s a small bug in the mozilla addons site that affects some people trying to install “experimental” addons (“Invalid file hash”, corrupted downloads, etc.). The bug has been fixed according to bugzilla.
If you had problems installing AnyColor, please try again or visit this knowledge base article.
Update: The following steps may help solve the issue.
- Enable cookies AND third-party cookies (Tools->Options-Privacy).
- When logging in to AMO, make sure you check the “remember me” checkbox.
- Clear the cache.

The “Invalid file hash” problem is still present on July 21. Suggested work-arounds are too vague. Does anyone have a step by step procedure to install Any Color?

I’m continually getting the following error message:
Firefox could not install the file at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/33629/anycolor-0.2.0-fx-win.xpi
because: Not a valid install package
-207
I’m using FF 3.0.1 on Vista Ultimate.

Having the same issue on my Vista laptop and ended up using IE to download the XPI so I could install it. All FF would do is download a corrupted version.

Sanjay: I’ll see what I can do in a future version. Meanwhile, you may find the Stylish extension useful as it allows you to try & apply arbitrary CSS without having to restart the browser.

Sorry that this isn’t an appropriate place for this, but I couldn’t find anywhere better.
I’m sure that this SHOULD work with stumbleupon, because I haven’t found any complaints that it doesn’t… but when I install it my stumbleupon toolbar disappears.

How do I uninstall anycolor. I like it, but just dont want it anymore. Thanks.

You can uninstall AnyColor the same way you uninstall any Firefox add-on. Go to the “Tools” menu, click “Add-ons”, find & select AnyColor and click the uninstall button.
