How exactly did you install it? Did you install with a root-owned mozilla or did you give yourself write permissions to the chrome directory as well as /var/lib/mozilla/? If you installed as root, do a reality check on the permissions of the files installed into chrome. I've had xpi's decide to install files as 400 owned by root. If you installed as regular user only having write permissions to the chrome directory, it may have failed silently. While debian's setup makes more sense from a file system layout perspective, it isn't the standard layout.
