Why not add it to your user directory? There should be a folder located at ~/.mozilla/plugins that you can copy or move plugins to.

Also, where did you install firefox to? You can use locate firefox | grep plugins after an updatedb to find the plugin dir of the installed firefox.

My Java plugin for FireFox is in /usr/lib/mozilla/1.x You have to make a sym link to the java plugin that is in the /usr/java file.
