Just run your program like so

alltray firefox

and marvel at the tray icon glory before you!

A lot of the addons that I install I end up deploying to more users then myself and luckily firefox has a neat way of allowing you to install additions into the global config. Just use the

–install-global-extension

or

–install-global-theme

flags. An example would be

firefox –install-global-extension /tmp/test-extension.xpi

Now every user will have test-extension installed in their own firefox instance!
