You can just let Firefox (I assume this also applies to Mozilla) install
extensions and themes by clicking on links to .xpi files. It's been some
time since I had any problems with that. You can also install already
downloaded extensions via File->Open.

If you let Firefox install the extensions, they are only copied to your
home directory, so in the worst case you have to remove your
~/.mozilla/firefox or whatever directory your version uses. In either
case it is a good idea make a copy of your bookmarks.html, just in case.
