If you had to change permissions on that file, then there's a good chance
many other files don't have right permissions. Did you install with an
unusually righteous umask?

Did you check the target, ie. /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/mozilla?

Look through all of /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla{,-devel} and find all the files
which have missing `other' perms, either with find's -perm or something a
bit more legible like..

# find /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla -ls | awk '/\-\-\-/{print $3,$NF}'

I've found that sometimes extensions will install with oddly restrictive
permissions which prevent them from being used by users.
