Re: How to get the user plugin directory (UNIX)

To install JS Console extension, I use an install.js file with custom 
classes (XPI_Installer and XPI_FileHandler) giving all you need to 
install files in Mozilla user's directories (for instance in Profile 
dir). To install in the plugin dir, 'Plugin' is OK.

You can use my install.js file if you want, just replacing, at the end 
of the file (main function), the descriptor properties with your own.
