You prevent www.dictionaryboss.com from installing. Why?
When I try to install www.dictionaryboss.com/referenceboss.com I am getting the following message:- "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS SITES FROM ASKING YOU TO INSTALL SOFTWARE IN YOUR COMPUTER." Ignoring this if I go ahead, I am getting the following message:- 'Install only from authors whom you trust. Malicious software can damage your computer or violate your privacy.' When I see these, I get scary. However, this software is very essential for me. What should I do? Is there any alternative software which you know I can install. Please help me. Thanks.

Firefox gives you that same warning whether the site is run by angels or devils because Firefox doesn't know.
If you trust the site based on a personal recommendation from someone with good judgment, or reliable good reviews, and if a few searches doesn't show any bad news (you can try searching the site with words like remove, spam, fraud, malware, virus, popup, etc.), then you should feel reasonably comfortable going ahead.

If you want to install this toolbar then you have to accept this risk and go ahead.

Firefox will always show this message unless an extension is signed and you will see this as well for most extensions that you install via the Add-ons website.
