Thank you. I did try the install as root yesterday, then tried firefox as
a user and it wasn't there but it is today. Regular extensions do work
for me. Sounds like firefox needs to rethink some of this.

I've been using Firefox a long time, but I'm not sure what the
"search bar" is?
Installing regular extensions should work fine as a user (does for me)
since they're stored in users' home directories; search plugins in
particular sadly won't work off the shelf, so to speak, since only
root has access to /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins, which must
be modified. Personally, I just change the permissions of the
directory so I can install search plugins as a user; alternatively,
you could fire up Firefox as root (no need to startx as root!).
