Using Drupal 7.9 on Webfaction Linux shared hosting. Accessing my drupal site from Windows 7 64bit, with Firefox 8.0. I'm having a problem when installing new modules when using the drupal UI to install a new module. I go to admin/modules/install, put in the URL of a module project, e.g., http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/pathauto-7.x-1.0.tar.gz, and click the install button.

First unusual thing is the progress bar doesn't show. Next I will see a message:

"Installation was completed successfully."

However, the module name shown won't be the module I'm installing but instead will be the name of the previous module installed. Finally when I go to the module page by clicking on the "Enable newly added modules" link, the new module won't be there.

If I repeat the install, this time I will see the download progress bar, but once again the module name will incorrectly be some previously installed module. However, when I go to the modules page, the module I specified will be installed.

This is not a one time occurrence. I go through the same issue every time I install a new module.

I just tried this from Internet Explorer 8 and it worked correctly. So apparently it's something with my firefox browser and drupal.
