Guys and gals,
I am going to refer you to this post by Mozilla regarding this specific error.
But first, please try re-installing the latest version of the toolbar, in case it was a temporary problem.

Inappropriate?I am having the same problem. I installed 2.0.0.13 and none of my add ons work. I reinstalled 2.0.0.12 and the addons do not work there either. I keep getting the same installation error code 203 when i try to add an addon. I am really frustrated as I cannot find a solution to my problem. Nothing will install as an add on. I am using windows xp and firefox 2.0.0.13 now. Any help?

Inappropriate?thanks Joe for the post=] However, I was not able to fix the problem. I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid or something but I couldn't figure out what to do. I'm having the same problem as everyone else, the 203 error. I'm using Windows Vista and Firefox 2.0.0.14 and haven't been able to install add-ons or extensions for like a month now, it's really frustrating. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it a few times but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone have really simple, easy to follow directions because everything else I tried to do was way too complicated for me.

Inappropriate?SoccerGirl90:
You're not able to install any addons? Or just PMOG?
It might be easier if you e-mail me, but I will be happy to reply to here if that's what you prefer.

Inappropriate?Guys i have figured it out, and its very simple.
Corrupt extension configuration files can cause problems when trying to install an extension. Deleting these files will make Firefox recreate them (removing any corruption) the next time it starts. You won't lose your extensions or their settings by deleting these files.
1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select File and then select the Exit menu item.
2. Go to your profile folder. (For xp/vist/2000 these are at %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles then click to the next folder.)
3. Delete the following files:
* extensions.ini
* extensions.cache
* extensions.rdf
4. Restart Firefox.
If that doesn't work, go through steps 1-4 again with any security software you have disabled.
Let me know if it works!
I’m Overjoyed

This fixed mine. Cick on the orange "Profile Folder" to show you where it's found on your machine. For Vista it is found under %APPDATA%\Mozilla\
Delete the corrupted files and you're golden. -

Inappropriate?i tried deleting the files but no success.
iu think the error in this case simply is that:
"The requested URL /pub/mozilla.org/addons/6336/pmog-0.5.0-fx.xpi was not found on this server."
I’m sad
