The button is disabled intentionally and becomes enabled after 10 seconds.  In all currently known cases, pressing the
'Force Install' button will cause the debugger to not function correctly until the browser is restarted.  It was left in
there because there is no guarantee that the check used to determine if Firefox is running will work with future
versions of Firefox.

The dialog should also disappear if you actually close all your Firefox browser windows, so it should not be necessary
to press the 'Force Install' button.
