I suspect that there is nothing wrong with the registry entries. What's 
more interesting to Firefox is the data built into the resource entries 
of the DLL. Specifically I noticed that when I was making my own 
testplugin version that I needed the resource to be in a specific 
language/codepage:

https://github.com/bsmedberg/blue-fishmonger-testplugin/blob/master/bsmedberg-testplugin/testplugin.rc

  VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1252

was necessary, and the default provided by the Visual Studio wizard was '1200' not '1252'.
