Presumably pacman -S will still work, but on first run, Firefox will then ask if you really want the extension installed, listing it's permissions etc.

I think that's pretty fair. Lots of other software that interacts/loads into another bit of software requires manual configuration.

I guess distributions may be able to build a Firefox version that would load extensions installed using the package manager without prompt.
