Whenever you install an extension, Firefox will show the above message box. Initially the Install button will be grayed out for 3 seconds, during which you have to sit there, watching the timer ticking down. Even though there are very good reasons why such a delay is put in force, still some of us have felt the need to remove that.
If you are a Firefox addon-surfer (hey, we coined that term :D) who installs (and obviously, uninstalls) a couple of extensions every day, the 3 seconds delay can easily become a time sink.

You can easily disable the installation wait by a simple about:config hack.
Try to install some addons now and you will notice that there is no wait period in the dialog box that pops up.about:config into the Firefox address bar and hit enter. security.dialog_enable_delay into the Filter text box. Double click on that preference value and change the value to 0

Thanks, I appreciate that. I understand the need for such a precation *for some people*, but I've always considered it an annoyance, just like the requirement to save .exe files to your desktop before you can open them. (The Open Download extension fixes that.)
It's THREE SECONDS. THREE.
THREE.
This is an awesome tip! I knew it had to be in there somewhere!
