You need to visit the homepage/download page of the extension(s) your viewing. The extensions site doesn't host the extensions themselves.

Take a look at where it says "Highslide" in the title. Now look directly below that word. Under the review stars there should be a black box with white writing. What does it say?

More trouble than they're worth.

You might want to have a look at this:
