Never heard of this plugin, myself, and there isn't even a Linux version.  Personally, I'd suggest avoiding installing weird junk like this and just not use sites that need them.

In any case, I successfully installed the thing via your STR inside a WinXPsp3 VirtualBox with Firefox 3.0.  It works fine; the problem is on your end.  Please read and follow the page I previously posted as this is a standard extension install problem.  Use the support.mozilla.com forums for any further needed help.
