A workaround that the port could use is given on that page....

"If Firefox 1.5.0.1 is installed on a multi-user system in a location 
which is not writable by users, Firefox must be run once by a privileged 
user. If this is not desirable, an empty file must be created in the 
following directory: 
<install-directory>/extensions/talkback at mozilla.org/chrome.manifest"
