Deploy Extension for Firefox

Has anyone had any luck with this?

We have an extension for Firefox that is made to allow Smartcard use. It is an .xpi file.

I tried creating a snapshot package, but this ends up just creating a second firefox profile for the user, instead of adding the extension in the users firefox profile. I'd like to make the add-on available in Self Service, but I can't quite wrap my brain around how to do it. Probably super simple and I'm just missing something.

Any ideas on how to deploy the plugin/addon?

Thanks!

I've always used CCK wizard to deploy, https://github.com/mkaply/cck2wizard.

Mozilla also has a KB article for installing extensions, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_extensions. Looks like /Applications/Firefox.app/browser/extensions is where global extensions can be stored
