you're doing something wrong (by installing firefox as root and using
it for development).

They shouldn't need root privileges or a personal dev copy of FF.

You can deploy extensions and components to a profile directory, it's
something like:

~/.mozilla/{app}/components/{here}

I'm sure you can find documentation on this.

Deployment is also complicated by the fact that they may have
different GtkMozEmbeds on their system, and consistently sniffing them
out and handling change in the environment can be hard.

it shouldn't be. write proper code using frozen interfaces and always
QI to verify that the objects you have behave as necessary. if you
know that a given object needs to be present and won't be present in
certain versions, you can make your factory search for it and refuse
to create its objects when it doesn't find the necessary object.
