"Allow websites to install software" is ticked. This seems to be the default option. This seems to my untutored eye to be dangerous - or is it that you will be asked if this is ok ?

273270 2004-09-17 23:28:00 Firefox should still pop up a dialog box confirming you want to install software like extensions for firefox. All this option does is stop websites installing software all together enceladus (6088)
273271 2004-09-17 23:29:00 So it should say:
"Prompt me to install software, or disable installation entirely"?!
