On Linux you have the problem of local versus global install.

It's possible to install Mozilla/Firefox as a global app (as root) or local 
for each user. If you have a global install it is (or was) the job of the 
XPI author to detect a possible installation failure, when a user could not 
install the extension in the global installation dir (rather like because of 
lacking rights - root!). I recall some JS code that checks the result of the 
normal install (global) and retries with a new path (local).

Ask on mozdev or check the install.js of other XPIs.
