In 3.2 Sony removed the ability to install apps from non-marketplace sources. You can still install via ADB, but not via dropbox, chrome etc.

To fix, on a rooted box, connect via adb, and fire up a shell (adb shell), then: 

           
/bin/busybox sh
/bin/busybox sed -ir "s/(install_non_market_apps0)/(install_non_market_apps1)/" /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 
reboot

Done, you can now install apps from chrome, dropbox, etc!
