It's both per-user and per-profile.  You can install extensions under 
.mozilla/extensions/$target_app_id which will be available for all 
profiles.  This is new in recent builds.  See 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311008

$target_app_id is defined by application.ini for your application.

target_app="firefox"
cat $(rpm -ql $target_app | grep application.ini) | grep ^ID
