This will not be added as default extension, This is a bad idea.
There are several reasons why addons/plug-ins are not included by
default, off hand here are a few.
1. Slows down Firefox
2. Not everyone wants extensions installed when installing firefox.
3. Hard to diagnose problems in the extension

Please add this extensions and any info you have on it to:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Extensions/List
We go over this list and move forward on them when we get a chance.
If you feel like packaging it than feel free to add it to the first
block of extensions, If not please add it to either "needs maintainer"
or "missing information"
Any if you you leave out we can find, It is best to leave us all info at
hand so that is one less thing the packager has to spend time looking for.

Is that license block in the top leave directory of the .xpi?
