 Ubuntu or Kubuntu?  Try an uninstall and reinstall. My Kubuntu AMD64 
system will write to the t erminal, download Firefox extensions using 
add  remove programs or Firefox extensions and I downloaded addblock 
plus without any problems just after I received your email

 Was this system an upgrade or  an install from a burnt disc? I burnt a 
disc and the download was from Canonical ome download from an AU server 
stalled at 82%
