example: Normal Install
Fire up thunderbird and Select the Addon. Install Plugins... reboot...
them the plugin will get installed to your User Folder. 
/home/username/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile/xxxxx/extenstions/xxxxxxxxxx
Only the user can use this plugin

But I don't want this way. I want install to thunderbird Installation path.
example: thunderbird tar version from mozilla
the Thunderbird is installed at /usr/local/thunderbird
them just mv the 
/home/username/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile/xxxxx/extenstions/xxxxxxxxxx 
to /usr/local/thunderbird/extenstions/xxxxxxxx

them all users can use this plugin.

my question is how to do this on ubuntu deb thunderbird. it doesn't have 
the extensions folder
